It’s a significant development for the Auburn Tigers as they secure the commitment of in-state defensive back Kaleb Harris. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound safety from Alabaster (Ala.) Thompson High School brings speed and versatility to Auburn’s pass defense, addressing the team’s need for increased speed and depth.
Harris had attracted attention from several notable programs, including Florida, Florida State, Tennessee, and LSU, but ultimately chose Auburn on October 23, 2023.
Known for his physicality and ability to defend the run, Harris already possesses the size suitable for SEC-level play. The report suggests that he could potentially contribute as a hybrid linebacker in nickel and dime packages, showcasing his versatility on the field.
One area for improvement highlighted is Harris’s coverage skills, suggesting that enhancing this aspect of his game will make him even more versatile in different defensive situations. As he refines his skills in the deep secondary, the expectation is that he will see increased playing time for the Tigers.
Additionally, Harris is expected to make valuable contributions to Auburn’s special teams, further solidifying his role as a well-rounded player for the team. Auburn fans can look forward to seeing Harris make an impact on both the defensive and special teams fronts in the upcoming seasons.
