The Arkansas Razorbacks have landed a major addition to their defense as linebacker announced his transfer from UCF to Arkansas on Monday.
A former four-star recruit from the Class of 2023, appeared in all 13 games for the UCF Knights last season, recording 61 total tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, and two sacks as a true freshman. His impact and athleticism quickly made him a standout in the Big 12 and drew attention across the country.
With three years of eligibility remaining, Harris brings speed, versatility, and playmaking ability to an Arkansas defense looking to rebuild under head coach Sam Pittman. The Razorbacks finished the 2024 season 4–8, with defensive struggles contributing heavily to their underwhelming campaign.
“I’m grateful for my time at UCF, but I’m excited for the opportunity to compete in the SEC and take my game to the next level,” Harris said in a statement posted to social media. “Arkansas felt like the right fit for me—on and off the field.”
Harris is expected to compete for a starting linebacker spot immediately and could be a centerpiece in Arkansas’ new defensive scheme.
The Razorbacks open their 2025 season on August 30 against Illinois State at Razorback Stadium.
