Heading into the 2017 season, most draft analysts pinned Bo Scarbrough as Alabama’s top tailback to watch. Scarbrough has played well this season, but it’s Harris that has stolen the show in Tuscaloosa.

The Crimson Tide’s 5-foot-11, 221-pound tailback is averaging 7.6 yards per carry and is averaging an incredible 4.91 yards after contact.

Both Kiper and Miller have Harris listed as the top running back for Monday’s game on their respective prospect rankings. ESPN’s draft analyst lists him as the fifth best player at his position. Bleacher Report’s top draft analyst lists him fourth among tailbacks and the No. 23 overall prospect.

Harris could potentially make a strong fit with Big Blue, especially due to his ability to pick up yards after contact. Walter Football reports that Harris has drawn comparisons to Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug Martin and projects the Crimson Tide junior to be drafted in either the second or third-round.
