young New Haven DB with starter upside and a clean slate
Matthew Harris enters 2026 as a freshman defensive back for New Haven, but public stat lines are still thin, so the real intrigue is projection: he’s an active, rostered DB with size listed at 6'0" on ESPN and 5'7" on CBS, and that discrepancy signals limited verified data rather than a polished scouting file. For a team, he’s a low-risk developmental piece worth tracking if you value upside, depth, and a player who still has room to define his game rather than a finished product.
