DeShawn Harris: Rising Star from the 4A ranks
Maloney Spartans cornerback DeShawn Harris made 12 pass breakups in 7 games last season before suffering an ACL injury. Harris' determination to return to the field has earned him a starting role heading into the 2026 season. The Class of 2027 standout has been a key contributor to the Spartans' secondary, and his experience in the 4A Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference will serve him well as he takes on the best of the state. Harris' impressive recovery has not gone unnoticed, and college scouts are taking notice of his tenacity and athleticism. With his speed and agility, Harris has the potential to be a shutdown cornerback at the next level. As he heads into the final stretch of summer camp, Harris is looking to build on his impressive preseason performance and lead the Spartans to a strong 2026 season. Scouts are watching to see how Harris adapts to game speed and if he can maintain his level of play throughout the season.
