John Harris anchors Ball State’s interior with steady nose-tackle grit
John Harris gives Ball State a sturdy, space-eating presence on the defensive front, and in the 2023 season he was a consistent starter at nose tackle, piling up 18 tackles and a sack while holding the middle of the line together[4]. The 6-foot-2, 280-pound redshirt junior profile fits an old-school, hard-nosed DL who helps free teammates rather than chase flash stats[1][12]. He looks like a useful fit for a team that wants leverage, toughness, and reliability inside—less highlight reel, more trench warfare.
