USC’s old-school tight end who did the dirty work and still found the end zone
In the 2000 season, Antoine Harris was a sturdy, reliable USC tight end who paired strong blocking with real pass-catching value, finishing with 28 receptions for 353 yards and 5 touchdowns. He stood out as USC’s first true freshman to start at tight end and earned Freshman All-American recognition in 1997, which tells you he wasn’t just a body on the field — he was trusted early and often. If your team wants a tight end who can help in the run game and punish defenses in the red zone, Harris fits the mold.
