Arlen Harris commits

[Aclone]

This is HUGE! A more than adequate replacement for the loss of Silas. We’ll be back to a solid four back rotation again!

 

[Aclone]

From his 247 scouting profile: “Very smart, patient runner who finds lanes and hits them without hesitation. Good inside runner for a guy who is not necessarily a big back. Naturally stocky and should fill out into a nice sized college player. Has good balance and will run through contact. Has some nimbleness and shiftiness. Has to continue to add explosiveness and top-end speed.”

That last sentence is basically what Rivals said about Breece out of HS.

For reference, he canceled his official visit in Iowa City after talking to Brian Ferentz on the phone. Great judgement.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Best running back transfer since Bo Williams

That worked out well lol

 

[CoKane]

Sweet! Lots of issues to fix on the offense still but step one is the biggest one. Really hope we land a WR or 2 next

 

[DBQR4CY]

Great addition to RB room and we saw exactly why there was a need for depth. Now for an OL transfer or two, another WR and kicker.

 

[cyclone87]

Great get, we needed more out of the running game this year.

 

[CyValley]

If he was able to hang at Stanford, I doubt we have any qualifying problems with this young man.

Why did a qualifying problem enter your mind, regardless of Stanford?

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but would this push another one away?

If Harris is better than Sanders or Brock, I would say so what?

We were a 4-8 football team last year. Have to upgrade at many spots.

Another what away? Another recruit? Another transfer?

IMO, we still need one more. This last season just proved that four healthy backs is the minimum this team needs.

 

[NoCreativity]

Sounds like a huge pickup. This backfield needs a major talent upgrade.

 

[DurangoCy]

Woot woot - welcome aboard!!!

FIFY

 

[bozclone]

Yeah... not sure why he didn't get time on a bad Stanford team?

Glad he's on the good guys now though! Welcome aboard!

He announced he was entering the transfer portal in October and was not on the team after that. He would have likely got a lot of carries had he been on the team late in the season because they had a lot of RB injuries. That is what I read.

 

[Buzzer68]

How many years of eligibility does he have left?

I agree. Just implying I don't think we'll go 4 deep

Reality says that we’re looking at a DE, a MLB and a wideout.

 

[AlaCyclone]

Dude was a 4****. He might be the starter in 2023.
