One of the country’s top prospects in the rising junior class. Harris helped the Florida Rebels secure a top seed at the Peach Jam averaging 14 points and 8.3 rebounds in Las Vegas. He continued to prove his ability to get to the rim and finish through contact but Harris also proved to be a reliable open shot maker from the perimeter over the weekend, which could take him to the next level as a prospect. The St. Petersburg native is a prospect to watch in the 2028 class this week in North Augusta.

Harris’ transfer to Boca Ciega is one of the biggest impact transfers in the state of Florida, and he wasted no time showing why during summer league play. Fresh off the EYBL circuit, Harris brought a physical brand of basketball that no defenders could match. He dominated in transition, finished above the rim, and controlled the paint on both ends of the floor. His shooting has been just as impressive. After knocking down four threes in a single quarter during Week 2, Harris carried that momentum into Week 3 with six made threes in a blowout win. With his combination of strength, skill, and versatility, Harris has elevated Boca Ciega’s ceiling tremendously.

Harris continues to challenge himself by playing up on the EYBL circuit with the Florida Rebels 17U squad, one of the top teams in the country. After coming up just short in the Peach Jam championship last summer, that group is motivated to finish the job this time around. Harris brings a unique blend of size and skill as a big guard, and this summer will be key for him. If he can consistently knock down perimeter shots while using his strength to overpower older competition, his recruitment could take off in a big way.

Harris has seen every defensive look imaginable. Box-and-one, zones, doubles off the ball. He cannot allow himself to be contained. If he establishes position inside, he is nearly unstoppable and draws fouls at a high rate. His rebounding, nearly a double-double at 9.7 boards per game, will be critical in limiting second chances for Jesuit. If his outside shot is falling, St. Pete’s chances rise significantly. If not, he must attack, get to the line, and convert.

The sophomore is still best scoring inside the arc but the range on his jump shot has continued to improve. Harris is already physically ready for college basketball and is garnering attention from high major programs around the country.
