At 6-2, 190 lbs, redshirt senior Johnny Harris III brings rare length and physicality to Bethune-Cookman's secondary, earning a spot on the prestigious 2025 Aeneas Williams Award Preseason Watchlist as one of HBCU's top DBs[3]. In 2023, he posted 29 tackles (19 solo), 1 INT, and 7 PBUs, showcasing lockdown coverage and ball-hawking instincts[3]. Early 2024 flashes include 6 tackles vs. USF and consistent play across 5 games[4].
