Curtis Harris-Lopez brings proven tackling production and playmaking juice to JMU’s secondary
In his latest full season before joining James Madison, Curtis Harris-Lopez showed he can be a reliable, physical safety: he played in 11 games with nine starts and finished with 65 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, and four pass breakups, while his Holy Cross season included 56 tackles, two interceptions, a forced fumble, and five passes defended. [1][3] The profile here is a high-effort, versatile defensive back who tackles well, flashes ball skills, and has already shown special-teams value with an 88-yard kickoff return, making him the kind of blue-collar fit coaches like for toughness, range, and urgency.
