After completing a decorated high school track career that saw him win state titles in numerous events, the 5-8, 178-pound playmaker transferred from Hinds Community College and moved up to Southern Miss for the 2018-19 seasons.


In that time, Harris started 13-of-23 games and totaled 122 carries for 621 yards (5.1 avg.) and five touchdowns to go along with 61 receptions for 587 yards (9.6 avg.) and five touchdowns. He also returned 23 kickoffs for 594 yards (25.8 avg.) and a touchdown.


In his final season with the Golden Eagles, Harris was named honorable mention All-Conference-USA. Injuries at the position had him convert from wide receiver to running back during the season, and he would finish second on the team with 541 rushing yards.


Harris' versatility as a receiver and runner, as well as a returner, could certainly help his case for a roster spot with a strong performance in training camp and the preseason, but it's going to be tough.


After T.Y. Hilton, Zach Pascal, Parris Campbell and Michael Pittman Jr., it is anyone's guess who might be among the Colts' receiving corps come Week 1 of the regular season. There are several quality competitors for the remaining spot or two, including Harris, Marcus Johnson, Daurice Fountain, Ashton Dulin, Dezmon Patmon and Chad Williams.
