Indiana strengthened its frontcourt on Tuesday with the addition of North Florida transfer, who announced his commitment to the Hoosiers via On3.
He is the second player from North Florida to join Indiana this offseason, following wing Jasai Miles. Standing 6-foot-8 and weighing 210 pounds, Harris is projected to play center, based on his role during his freshman year in Jacksonville.
The Florida native appeared in 28 games last season for the Ospreys, showing promise with his rebounding, shot-blocking, and finishing ability. While he needs to cut down on fouls per 40 minutes, his overall potential as a rim-to-rim player is encouraging.
His eligibility also adds value—Harris has three years remaining, which gives Indiana long-term upside. Though head coach Darian DeVries has prioritized experienced players in building his roster, Harris offers future stability beyond next season.
He will likely compete with Florida transfer Sam Alexis and Davidson transfer Reed Bailey for minutes in the post. Harris’ commitment takes Indiana to 11 committed scholarships (out of 13) for next season. Luke Goode continues seeking a waiver for a fifth season, and could claim a 12th if he receives one.
