Physical, high-upside edge defender still building his college résumé
Cortez Harris is a former four-star Maryland edge rusher whose early college résumé is small but intriguing: he appeared in two games as a true freshman at Penn State in 2025 and preserved a redshirt, then transferred to Virginia Tech with four years of eligibility left. His appeal is in the traits scouts loved coming out of Riverdale Baptist — size, length, sack production in high school, and a reputation for strong run defense, awareness, and a relentless mindset. He looks like a developmental fit for a staff willing to coach up a still-ascending defensive end.
