Five-star cornerback AJ Harris includes Alabama in top seven, announces commitment date

One of the best in-state 2023 prospects is cornerback AJ Harris. He announced his top seven schools and commitment date on Tuesday evening.

Alabama has quite the in-state class to recruit from within the 2023 cycle. As things stand on the 247Sports composite, there are four five-star players and seven total within the top 100 overall.

One of the best is AJ Harris. Coming out of Phenix City, the five-star cornerback is the No. 2 player in the state, just behind fellow cornerback Tony Mitchell.

Harris released his top-seven schools on Tuesday evening, including Alabama on the list. Clemson, Georgia, LSU, North Carolina, Notre Dame, and Ohio State made the cut as well.

To go along with a top school list, Harris announced he will be making his commitment on Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2022, the day after the national championship.

Alabama and safeties coach Charles Kelly offered Harris on March 30. Of the schools remaining in the top seven, North Carolina was the last to offer.

Harris has taken unofficial visits to Clemson and Ohio State per 247Sports. The five-star cornerback also posted pictures with Georgia head coach Kirby Smart and Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly on Twitter back in late June.

With so much talent within the state, the Crimson Tide is bound to lose at least one or two to another national program. However, somebody like Harris, especially as a defensive back, needs to end up in Tuscaloosa.

Kelly and Nick Saban have four months to win another recruitment.

The Georgia Bulldogs are among the top schools for five-star class of 2023 cornerback Aaron-Joshua (A.J.) Harris. Georgia offered a scholarship to the talented and lengthy cornerback in Feb. 2021.

The 6-foot-2, 180-pound cornerback is ranked the No. 23 recruit in his class. Harris is the No. 2 corner and No. 4 player in Alabama.

Harris has received scholarship offers from USC, Texas, Penn State, Oklahoma, Utah and many more. The five-star defensive back visited Georgia, Clemson, Notre Dame and Ohio State in June.

Notre Dame cornerback target AJ Harris visits campus

Notre Dame just received a visit from a recruit everyone wants.

With school out for the summer, recruits continue to make the rounds for colleges and universities interested in them. The latest to visit Notre Dame is cornerback recruit AJ Harris, who received an offer from the Irish on Feb. 26. Harris, who is going into his junior year at Glenwood School in Phenix City, Alabama, got pretty much the entire inside look at the Irish. Based on this tweet, it’s hard to conclude otherwise:

It’s already been an eventful summer for Harris. Earlier this month, he paid visits to Alabama, Clemson and Georgia, all of which are considered major contenders for him. Ohio State also is considered one of the leading players for him. There’s no doubt Notre Dame has its work cut out as far as trying to bring Harris to South Bend. It’s part of a long list of schools that have given offers to Harris, including Florida State, Boston College, Virginia Tech, Michigan, Kansas State, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Miami, Michigan State, Penn State, Maryland, USC, Tennessee, Auburn, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma and Texas.

Report: 5-star DB has “amazing” visit with the Georgia Bulldogs

Per DawgPost, 5-star 2023 DB AJ Harris had an awesome visit with Georgia football coach Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs.

Kirby Smart and Georgia did not have a week to remember, losing commitments from two 2021 five-star recruits, defensive back Deyon Bouie and defensive tackle Bear Alexander.

But no matter how bad a week may be for Smart and UGA, he always finds a way to bounce back and reel in some of the nation’s top recruits … and still finish with a top-three recruiting class.

Smart wasted no time getting more elite prospects on campus, and that includes 2023 five-star defensive back A.J. Harris (Phenix City, Alabama).

In talking with DawgPost, Harris, the nation’s No. 23 overall player per 247Sports, said he had an “amazing” visit to Athens this week.

“I loved everything about today’s visit, but if I have to point something out it would be working out with coach Addae,” Harris told Dawg Post. “I like his coaching style. The whole coaching staff was basically with me the whole day. Coach Lanning, coach Smart, coach Addae, coach McGee, and two of the recruiting people named Angela and Bobby! Showed me AMAZING hospitality!”

According to DawgPost, Harris is priority target for Smart and UGA, and for good reason. The 6-foot-2 cornerback has 33 offers. Thankfully for Georgia, 247Sports predicts Harris to commit and sign with UGA.
