ANTONIO HARRIS #20
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 180lb
Position: DB
Class: RS Freshman
Hometown: Louisville, KY
Summary: I realize there may be some of you reading this who don’t know who Nate Harris is, and maybe even some of you reading this who have never heard of Doug Beaumont, and frankly, that makes me sad….and evidently old, but those two guys are not only Louisville family but bloodline family (Nate-Dad, Doug-Uncle) for Antonio. The Male High grad adds to a long line of Bulldogs to come play for the Cardinals, and this Bulldog has a chance to be one of the better ones.
Antonio was a Top 10 player in the state of Kentucky by multiple recruiting sites, and the two way corner/wideout had plenty of numbers to back up those rankings and accolades. Harris chose the Cards last year over the bi-state trio of Kentucky, Indiana, and Purdue. Harris played a bit on special teams last year but kept his redshirt in tact so he still has four years left to play. Another corner with good speed and aggressiveness, Harris lacks a little size but is not afraid to get into the mix and create plays in space. As we sit today I think Harris is a threat to stick around in the two deep rotation at corner, but as we know things can change fast in a matter of days. I like what the Cards are building in the secondary for the future, as guys like Harris are not only stellar athletes, but they “bleed red” from birth. Hometown Harris looking to turn heads sooner than later.
