Power-Rush Transfer Who Flashed NFL Upside at NC State
Harsh arrived at NC State as a graduate transfer and quickly earned a starting role, playing in eight games with seven starts in the 2025 season, then carried that momentum into pro opportunities after going undrafted in 2026. He stands out as a compact, physical edge defender with real rush production—20 pressures, 14 hurries and 2 sacks in 2024 at Wyoming—and evaluators liked his burst enough to place him as a mid-round type, including a 149th-overall board rank and a 6.03 RAS. The catch: a prior knee injury and a targeting ejection flagged some risk, but the upside is a high-motor, disruptive DE who can fit a downhill, aggressive front.
