Jer-ryan Harris was a tackling machine and defensive tone-setter for UAPB
In the 2013 season, Jer-ryan Harris anchored Arkansas-Pine Bluff’s defense as the SWAC Defensive Player of the Year, piling up 107 tackles and finishing sixth in the FCS in stops[1][2]. His calling card was volume, violence, and consistency: he was repeatedly described as the field general of the Golden Lions, and earlier in his career he showed big-play chops too, including 129 tackles and 8.0 sacks in 2010 before a hamstring-limited 2011 season[3][4]. If a team wants a linebacker who brings leadership, production, and a proven nose for the ball, Harris fits the bill—hard-hat football with a little extra sledgehammer.
