Pittsburgh Grit LB with Tackling Consistency Despite Injury Setbacks
Luke Harris, a 6'0", 220-lb senior linebacker for Duquesne, tallied 27 tackles (11 solo) and a season-high 8 at West Virginia in 2023, showing relentless pursuit and reliability with tackles in 10 of 12 games[1]. A 3x NEC Academic Honor Roll honoree and high school captain from Pittsburgh's Thomas Jefferson, he brings blue-collar intensity, fumble recoveries (including vs. TCU in 2021), and special teams flair like a 5-yard blocked punt TD return in 2022[1]. Limited to one game in 2024 due to injury, his experience and leadership make him a smart, low-risk depth fit for teams needing tough, cerebral LBs who battle through adversity[1].
