South Carolina signee of the day: Kevin Harris

SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS FOOTBALL RECRUITING

With South Carolina's 2019 recruiting class completely signed and locked up, Gamecock Central will spotlight one prospect for the next 23 days.

South Carolina recruiter: Bobby Bentley

Offers: Army, Navy, Middle Tennessee State, among others.

Scouting Report - A compact, powerful back, Harris impressed the South Carolina coaches when he had an excellent day at their camp this summer and landed an offer. Harris is a workhorse back who runs through contact and has excellent size and balance.

Running backs coach Thomas Brown on Harris: "He’s just tough. I think it’s a really underrated trait. A lot of guys kind of put a high premium on how fast a guy runs a 40. I think that’s probably one of the most overrated stats about running backs. I care more about can you break tackles? Can you make guys miss in a short-area space, and can you just be tough from a mental and physical standpoint. He definitely has it in my opinion."

Will Muschamp on Harris: "Kevin really came and earned his scholarship at camp. We really liked his film. We weren’t totally certain about his top end speed. He came into camp and ran 4.55 in the 40 and vertical jumped 34 inches, which is really good. He has a really big lower body and is a difficult guy to tackle, when you talk in terms of a power running game and getting better there and adding some toughness to that position."

Why South Carolina? "The school really showed a lot of interest in me and I worked out very well today," Harris said. "It all just happened. (Running backs coach Bobby Bentley is) a great coach and I look forward to playing for him. He's a great person as well."
