Brian Kelly opens up about Denver Harris’ exit from Texas A&M

Kelly spoke about the process that went into Harris’ recruitment following his messy exit from Texas A&M.

When [autotag]Denver Harris[/autotag] left Texas A&M and hit the transfer portal, there was no question about his talent.

He was one of the best available players — a former five-star who fit the bill when he was on the field, too.

But there were questions about his messy exit from A&M. Harris was one of several A&M players disciplined last fall. He went from a freshman phenom to not seeing the field.

LSU needed corners and Harris’ talent was too big to ignore, but in Brian Kelly’s time at LSU, he’s said LSU just doesn’t want to take anyone from the portal – especially if there were issues at the previous stop.

Harris committed to LSU in December, helping to address that need in the secondary.

Kelly spoke about the process that went into that after Tuesday’s practice.

It sounds like Kelly feels whatever happened with Harris at A&M is behind him. Kelly trusts in the culture that he’s building at LSU.

“So far, so good,” he said.

LSU will need the situation to remain that way as Harris figures to be a key part of the defense in 2023.
