Harrison ranks as a five-star recruit and the No. 6 player in the country according to the 247sports composite rankings. The 6-foot-7, 243-pound prospect ranks as the top tight end and the top player in the state of North Carolina according to the rankings.
More From RTI: Tennessee Lands Commitment From Four-Star Georgia Receiver
The blue-chip recruit is a Reidsville, North Carolina native— a town on the northern border of North Carolina just 30 miles north of Greensboro.
Tennessee has made a point of recruiting the state of North Carolina under head coach Josh Heupel. The Vols are hot on the trail of Charlotte native David Sanders, the No. 2 player in the country, in the 2025 recruiting cycle.
Harrison has taken a visit to every single school in his top group besides Miami to date, but has visited North Carolina and Tennessee more than any other school. The blue-chip recruit has taken six total visits to North Carolina including three in the last year.
The massive tight end has taken three total visits to Tennessee and two in the last year including for the Georgia game last fall. Harrison has also taken two visits to Florida State and a lone visit to both Penn State and Oregon.
Tennessee football has yet to land a commitment in the 2026 recruiting class which is little surprise due to how early it is in the cycle.
