Harris Sets Sights on Gridiron Greatness
Paramus Catholic DE Jalen Harris made headlines in June when he became the first Paladin to earn a Power 4 offer, joining the likes of Rutgers and Penn State on his burgeoning list. Harris's impressive showing at a recent camp earned him the coveted nod, with scouts praising his explosive get-off and relentless pursuit of the quarterback. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound edge rusher boasts a 4.6 40-yard dash time and recorded 12 sacks as a sophomore. Harris's athleticism and production have drawn comparisons to fellow New Jersey product and current NFL standout, Jonathan Garvin. As the Paladins prepare for their Non-Public B title defense, Harris is expected to be a key contributor on the defensive line. Scouts are now watching to see if Harris can translate his summer success into a dominant regular season, and whether he can continue to impress Power 4 programs with his growth and development.
