Chris Harris Jr. is a steady, productive SIU linebacker with proven playmaking upside
In the 2022 season, Chris Harris Jr. was a reliable force for Southern Illinois, starting all 11 games and finishing third on the team with 48 tackles, including 6.5 tackles for loss. He also brought some heat as a disruptor, with an interception already showing he can make a splash beyond the box score. The Salukis’ coaching staff has repeatedly trusted him with meaningful snaps, and his career arc suggests a tough, assignment-sound linebacker with enough range and edge to help a defense win ugly. If you want a plug-and-play tone-setter, he’s worth a hard look.
