The linebacker and brother duo of Andrew and Michael Harris are nothing short of playmakers. Playing at Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs, Florida, the two 2023 prospects showcase their speed, effort, and playmaking ability every time they step on the field. They've gained interest from top programs such as Miami, Auburn, Tennessee, UCF, FSU, Ole Miss, Michigan State, Michigan, and Penn State, among others.
The linebacker prospects line up side by side on the field and have the top-tier speed to wreak havoc on the opposing team's offense. They also are top-track talents who compete among the nation's best.
Andrew Harris, the 4-star linebacker, had a great season this past year, tallying 104 tackles and an interception for a touchdown. Andrew, who has clocked a 4.39 40-yard dash, describes the best parts of his game to be, "Blitzing and getting to the backfield as fast as I can before the ball-carrier gets to the line”. He says his "hitting technique and coverage skills," are great parts of his game as well as his love for, "Chasing things down and being everywhere."
The 6'2", 205 pound ‘backer is looking for a school that "feels like a family and has guys willing to put in the work while also having a good business education." He has spoken with Miami Hurricanes Defensive Coordinator Kevin Steele and Linebackers Coach Charlie Strong. He finds that Miami is "A very intelligent school that is hard to get into" and is excited to see "what type of defense they run and if the coaching staff is real and honest the whole way." Andrew wants his future home to know that he will "Get the job done."
Michael Harris, also a 4-star linebacker, takes pride in his speed and effort on the field. He stated, "I want to make a play every time I'm out there. As soon as I make one play, I want to make another. If my coach tells me he wants 15 tackles in a game, I'll want to get 20." Michael, a standout track athlete who runs around a 4.4 40-yard dash, is looking for a school with "Great academics and good treatment of their players. The school needs to feel like home and fit me well. I also want to look at the plays they run because I like to play inside the ball and use my speed to run sideline to sideline."
The 6'1", 190 lb (due to track season) backer wants whichever program he attends to know that he will "Most definitely bring effort and make plays by flying around, hitting, and helping teammates." Michael stated, "Even though I'll be one of the younger guys wherever I go, I will still bring that leader's presence and try to influence those around me. I will give maximum effort and make play after play. Me and Andrew have the urge to hit and keep making plays. I always have the mentality that I can always do better. I'll look back at the film and see what I can do better."
These two talents are guys to look out for as top linebackers in the 23' class as their hard-nosed, fast, and enforcer play styles mold perfectly with a "Kevin Steele" type of player. Their speed at that position is tough to come by, and their intensity and ferocity on the field will be vital to whichever program they choose. The position is one of need at UM, and the staff looks to build and stack the best talent it can get.
The brothers were just invited to compete in the Polynesian Bowl and will also be taking an official visit to UM this week. They plan to announce and sign on National Signing Day.

Saw them the other day. Very thin, I kinda did a double-take because I knew they were LBs, but when you see them without the shoulder pads, it's a bit surprising. I would compare them to Cyrus Moss, they'll definitely be amazing with a bit more weight.
