Jalen Harris Commits to UTSA for 2027 Season
Jalen Harris, a Class of 2027 quarterback from West Des Moines Valley High School, has committed to the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) for the 2027 football season. Harris, a 4A prospect, will join the Roadrunners' program as a scholarship player. The UTSA coaching staff's emphasis on a fast-paced, spread offense aligns with Harris's skills, which include a strong arm and ability to extend plays with his feet. Harris is expected to compete for the starting quarterback position, potentially filling a void left by the departure of a 2026 graduate. UTSA's academic programs, including its business and engineering departments, also appealed to Harris. Harris had previously committed to another program but reopened his recruitment in March, allowing him to explore other opportunities.
