Talia Harris Brings Two-Way Grit and Defensive Activity to Mercer’s Backcourt
Harris is a compact, active guard whose value comes from defense, quick hands, and hustle plays as much as scoring; in the 2025-26 season, she averaged 3.6 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.2 assists while shooting 31.3% from the field, and Mercer’s signing release highlighted her junior-year production of 9.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.2 steals, and 2.1 assists per game. She looks like a fit for a team that needs energy, disruptive perimeter defense, and a willingness to do the dirty work more than a high-usage scorer.[1][4]
