Five-star DB Denver Harris sets commitment date

Denver Harris will not be announcing his decision until Saturday.

Texas has made plenty of splashes thus far during the early signing period, and are hoping to make another with five-star cornerback Denver Harris.

The Longhorns are off to a hot start as they have been able to flip multiple players on Wednesday, while also keeping their top recruits in the class. Even with all the noise that has happened on the first day of the early signing period, Texas still has their eyes set on Harris, who has been a priority target for the entire year.

Harris is expected to sign sometime during the early signing period, but he will not announce his school of choice until Saturday. The top schools in his recruitment are Texas A&M, Texas, LSU and Alabama.

His announcement will come after his North Shore High School team competes in the state championship game on Saturday.

As it currently stands, Harris holds five crystal ball predictions to Texas A&M, which means Texas needs to put in some very last minute efforts into trying to get the lockdown corner to reconsider his options.

If Steve Sarkisian and his staff can pull this off, this would be a fantastic haul to an already loaded 2022 class.

Five-star CB Denver Harris to announce commitment on National Signing Day

One of Texas’ top defensive priorities will take it all the way.

There may not be a more important defensive target on Texas’ recruiting board than five-star Denver Harris. Defensive back coach Terry Joseph and defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski have been working hard on the North Shore product.

According to CJ Vogel of The Football Brainiacs, Harris is set to announce his commitment on National Signing Day. The five-star originally teased a commitment on his 18th birthday of Sept. 22.

Texas was able to push back the date with an unofficial visit this past weekend. Getting a 35 point win over Texas Tech was a huge benefit for Steve Sarkisian’s staff. Closing on the top defensive target is the No. 1 priority going forward.

For Harris, Alabama remains the biggest competitor, while LSU and Texas A&M hang in the balance.

Harris has been suffering from a knee injury and has yet to play during his senior season. Once he does, programs around the country will reaffirm him as the top defensive prospect in the nation.

Nick Saban has personally recruited Harris, showing he is one of the best defensive backs overall. If Texas is going up against the Alabama head coach, a difficult task is ahead.

Getting an official visit during the month of June can do nothing but help the Longhorns. However, another unofficial visit with a solid defensive performance would help Texas’ chances.

On the 247Sports composite, Harris ranks as the No. 9 overall player and the No. 2 player within the state of Texas. At the cornerback position, the five-star ranks as the No. 3 prospect.

All eyes will be on Harris as he announces his commitment in December.
