Four-star CB Daniel Harris back in the fold for Georgia in 2023
Daniel Harris decommitted from Georgia on November 14.
Today, he decided once again that Athens was home all along.
The nation’s No. 155 overall prospect in the Class of 2023 per the On3 Consensus, Harris becomes Georgia’s twenty-second commitment of the cycle and fifth defensive back on the list for the Dawgs.
Harris ranks as the No. 21 overall corner in 2023 per the Consensus, which equally weights rankings from all four major recruiting services, as well as the No. 37 overall prospect in the state of Florida.
A product of Miami’s Gulliver Prep High School, On3 ranks Harris the highest of any of the services, putting him No. 42 overall in the On300.
He’s also the No. 6 corner in the class per On3’s rankings.
Harris’ long bonds with Georgia pay off
In decommitting from the Bulldogs, Harris was quick to note that the staff has prioritized him heavily, pointing especially toward cornerbacks coach Fran Brown.
“First I would like to thank the University Of Georgia, Coach Smart, and Coach Fran Brown for building a great relationship with me and my family,” Harris told On3 at the time of reopening his recruitment.
The bond with Brown was a key factor throughout Brown’s decision-making process, with the two having established ties before the coach was in the Classic City.
“I mean, he’s a great guy and great coach. I’ve had a great relationship with him for a while now,” Harris said following his official visit over the summer. “I’ve known him since he was at Rutgers.”
On3 Scouting Report on Daniel Harris
“Tall corner who has one of the best size and speed combinations among prospects at the position in the 2023 cycle. Has plus stature and length for the position, checking at 6-foot-2, 175 pounds with arm length over 32 inches. Doubles as a strong sprinter with a personal best of 10.74 seconds in the 100 meters through the middle of his junior track season. The physical skill set results in a pure outside corner who excels at turning and running with receivers downfield. Smooth in his transitions, particularly for a taller cornerback. Understands how to best position his body when in-phase with receivers. Capable of locating and turning to track the football. Shows encouraging signs of physicality as a run and cover down defender. Willing to throw his body around and has some striking power. Can continue improving his ball production and tackling form. The physical traits give him one of the more tangible and projectable skill sets among top corners in the 2023 cycle.” – Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
