JP Danaher brings Ivy League length, discipline, and upside to Harvard’s defensive front
In the 2025 season, JP Danaher was a first-year defensive lineman for Harvard who did not see action, but at 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds he already has the frame coaches love for an interior or edge hybrid. His recruiting profile points to a captain-type competitor: honorable mention all-conference, a Prep Bowl title, state semifinal experience, and a strong multi-sport background. He looks like a developmental fit for a program that values toughness, size, and steady growth more than flash.
