A 6-foot-6 forward who played his prep basketball for WCAC powerhouse program Paul VI, Harris was a top-50 recruit when he signed with the Blue Devils in the 2024 class. He arrived in Durham with a strong reputation as a dangerous 3-point shooter, but struggled to find his rhythm there. Over 57 games at Duke, Harris shot just 30.8% from 3.
But he saw substantial improvement from his freshman to his sophomore seasons in both 3-point and free-throw shooting, against a negligible turnover rate. He fits the mold Darian DeVries likes in his wing players, given his combination of length and range. With players like Nick Dorn and Jasai Miles gone, Harris figures to step into meaningful minutes as a multiyear transfer already familiar with the demands of high-major basketball.
