Harrison is one of Tennessee football’s top targets in the 2026 recruiting cycle and has already taken three visits to Knoxville including an unofficial visit back in March. The blue-chip recruit is a Charlotte native and Tennessee has recruited both the Queen’s City and the state of North Carolina extremely well under head coach Josh Heupel.
The Vols have landed a number of top players out of North Carolina including James Pearce Jr, Daevin Hobbs, David Sanders and Faizon Brandon. Brandon is also one of the top players in the 2026 recruiting class and has a strong relationship with Harrison.
Tennessee’s 2026 recruiting class currently contains two commits including the five-star Brandon and four-star tight end Carson Sneed. The Vols’ two-commit 2026 recruiting class is good enough for the No. 16 class nationally according to the 247sports team rankings.
