Watch: 5-star football recruit Kendre Harrison shatters the backboard in his high school game

Kendre Harrison destroyed a rim on Tuesday night.

While playing basketball on Tuesday night, Kendre Harrison brought the house down. He did so by first bringing the rim down.

Harrison, a five-star football recruit, ripped down the rim and shattered the backboard in a basketball game for Reidsville (Reidsville, North Carolina). For one of the nation’s top football recruits, it was certainly a surreal moment.

In the 247Sports Composite, Harrison is a five-star and is ranked as the seventh-best prospect in the nation. He is also the nation’s top-ranked athlete prospect.

On Tuesday night, Harrison drove to the rim with authority and using the full power of his 6-foot-7, 235-pound frame. There was nothing added or special about the dunk, no hanging on the rim. Just sheer power.

He had ripped down the rim before, but this time it was different. Everything came down with it.

“Kinda last year,” Harrison told USA TODAY High School Sports on Wednesday. “But this was my first time breaking the backboard with it.”

The game got called with Reidville up 63-43 over Morehead (Eden, North Carolina).

 

“Every time I dunk I’m trying to rip it down,” Harrison said before diving into his emotions after the dunk.

“Crazy, it was unbelievable after I did it. I got up and walked to the student section and we got lit.”

In terms of his football recruitment, Harrison said that North Carolina, Penn State, Florida State and Tennessee are showing him the most interest right now.

This dude is insanely talented. #GoBlue

Michigan football is really working overtime in one of the states it has had recent success in.

In the 2024 recruiting cycle, the Wolverines have pulled in two elite prospects from Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day: five-star quarterback Jadyn Davis and four-star wide receiver Channing Goodwin. The in-roads made there have launched the maize and blue into seeking more players from the Eastern Seaboard of the southern United States.

The Wolverines are looking ahead to 2025 and 2026 while still working 2024. That’s becoming increasingly evident as Michigan football made an offer on Monday to 2026 Reidsville (N.C.) athlete Kendre Harrison, who already has a number of elite offers to his name.

Coming in at 6 feet, 8 inches and 230 pounds, Harrison plays both tight end and defensive end at the high school level. Having just finished his freshman season, Harrison has 15 reported offers, including Alabama, Florida, Florida State, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oregon, Penn State and Tennessee.

Harrison is also a dual-sport athlete; he plays basketball in high school.

Georgia football offers lengthy TE Kendre Harrison

Big North Carolina tight end recruit Kendre Harrison visited the UGA spring game and ended up with a scholarship offer from the Bulldogs

The Georgia football spring game is always a big draw for fans and recruits. The 2023 edition of G-Day was no exception.

Unranked tight end recruit Kendre Harrison received a scholarship offer from Georgia tight ends coach Todd Hartley when he attended the Georgia spring game on April 15.

Harrison is a member of the class of 2026. He met former Georgia tight end Darnell Washington, who was celebrating winning back-to-back national championships, on his visit to Athens, Georgia.

It was a memorable day for Harrison, who plays high school football for Reidsville High School in Reidsville, North Carolina. The 6-foot-8, 230-pound recruit is primarily considered a tight end, but also plays defensive end. Could he be the next great tight end at Georgia?

Georgia tight ends coach Todd Hartley has done an elite job of recruiting the tight ends position. Hartley is one of the top recruiters in the country.

Harrison is also a talented basketball recruit. He has a scholarship offer from Texas A&M.
