Wake Forest DL Josh Harrison brings late-blooming upside and disruptive backfield production
Josh Harrison is a young, fast-rising Wake Forest defensive lineman whose profile is built on backfield disruption: at Christ School, he posted 16.0 sacks, 20.0 tackles for loss, and 114 total tackles, and he was named North Carolina All-State and a team captain. Wake Forest’s roster lists him at 6-2, 248 as a redshirt freshman, and he did not see game action for the Demon Deacons in 2025, so his value is still more projection than production. He stands out for his late start in football, leadership, and edge-rushing upside, making him an intriguing developmental fit for a defense that wants length, effort, and pass-rush traits.[2][3]
