ESPN on Harris:

“It all clicked for the former five-star prospect, as Harris turned into one of the country’s best and most complete running backs last year, rushing for 100 or more yards six times. All told, he found the end zone 20 times, including seven receiving touchdowns.”

Harris finished last season with 1,224 yards and 13 TDs. So far in his career, he has racked up 2,377 rushing yards and 20 TDs. The decision to return for his senior year was shocking to some, but was honestly an incredible decision. Not only does Alabama’s offense need him next season, but it will be so important in him rising up in the mock draft rankings. Considering Alabama may try to run the ball more next season, look for Harris to not only climb up the rankings, but also keep your eye on him to be in the Heisman Trophy talks next season.
