Clay Harris brings Citadel’s classic bruising RB profile with proven production
Clay Harris has been a steady, physical fit for The Citadel’s run-heavy offense, and in the 2019 season he rushed for 699 yards and 2 touchdowns on 179 carries, then added 264 yards and 2 scores in the 2020-21 season despite a shortened schedule[5][6]. He was a three-star RB recruit and was praised coming out of high school as a strong receiver out of the backfield, which adds some versatility to his downhill, contact-first style[7]. If you want a back who can handle volume, play with toughness, and fit a grind-it-out system, Harris is the kind of old-school, hard-nosed weapon that makes defensive coordinators sigh dramatically[5][7].
