Cornell freshman OL James Harding brings size and upside to the Big Red trenches
James Harding enters the 2026 season as a 6-6, 267-pound freshman offensive lineman for Cornell, giving the Big Red a long, developmental body type with classic tackle-frame potential.[1][3][10] He helped Beachside High School win a 5A District 3 title and earned first-team all-county honors, which suggests he arrives with winning experience and a physical profile that can grow into Ivy League line play.[1]
