High-upside young safety with ball-hawking high school tape and room to grow at JMU
Phillip Harris is a redshirt freshman safety at James Madison who has yet to log college game action, but his profile suggests real upside: he arrives with 4A All-State honors, 196 career tackles, nine interceptions, and three touchdowns in high school, plus a reputation for production and discipline. JMU listed him on its roster as a redshirt freshman, and he was a 2024-25 Sun Belt Conference Academic Honor Roll selection, which points to maturity and reliability. He looks like a developmental fit for a program that values defensive versatility and instinctive, playmaking safeties.
