Aggies offer 2022 standout OL
Little Rock (AR) Robinson 2022 OL E'Marion Harris has been offered by Texas A&M and the 6-6, 320-pound standout is a bad dude.https://twitter.com/emarionharris1/status/1251308856959008770?s=21"I was excited," Harris said. "Me and coach Henson had a good conversation today."Johnny Football is the first thing that comes to mind when he thinks of the A&M program, and while today was the first time he's communicated with coach Henson, the conversation left a favorable impression."It went well, I really liked him," Harris said. He is currently keeping an open mind to the recruiting process, but Oklahoma and Arkansas are coming on the hardest.Here's what I wrote when I highlighted him in Around the SEC in January of 2019."At 6-foot-6, 305-pounds, Harris' size immediately jumps off the page, and he is only a freshman. The size is not a new thing, as a fourth grader he measured 6-0, 250-pounds, and this weekend on a visit to Arkansas the XXXL gloves they brought for him to wear during a photoshoot would not fit over his palms.Size may be one of the first things to draw attention, but it is certainly not the only thing. He started every game and played every o-line snap as a freshman, and through the first four games that means playing as a 13-year old (he did not turn 14 until the end of September). He makes line checks, and he can snap. In fact, his coaches say his high IQ for the game allows him to play all five offensive line positions.The high football IQ should not come as a surprise. His father, Elliot Harris, played for Arkansas in the early 2000s and his older brother, Elliott Harris, Jr., was a multi-year starter and is headed to the JCs to start his college career.College coaches have already taken notice of Harris. Alabama was the first to offer at the beginning of the football season. Texas State, who was recruiting his older brother, offered soon after. Over the weekend he received an offer from Arkansas, and attention has also arrived from TCU, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Memphis, Auburn, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State."Below are his sophomore highlightshttps://www.hudl.com/video/3/11495363/5d8a167f478d570c44b2a456
