Mustangs' New Anchor: DeShawn Harris Proves Instant Impact
DeShawn Harris, Myers Park's Class of 2026 offensive lineman, has wasted no time making his presence felt in the 4A NCHSAA landscape. In his first game with the Mustangs, Harris was instrumental in blocking for a 300-yard rushing performance, showcasing his ability to open holes and protect his quarterback. The transfer from out-of-state brings a unique set of skills to the table, having developed a strong foundation in both pass protection and run blocking. Harris' athleticism and technique have quickly earned him a starting role, and he's been a key factor in the team's pre-season preparations. As the Mustangs look to make a deep run in the playoffs, Harris will be a crucial component of their success. Scouts are keeping a close eye on Harris' ability to adapt to the NCHSAA's 4A classification and how he'll fare against the region's top defensive linemen.
