He's in the early stages of his process but already has a list of favorites standing out to him.

Harrison ranks as the No. 6 prospect in the 2026 class, according to the On3 Industry Rankings.

The Tennessee Volunteers are an early contender for his services. They have a strong football and basketball program, a strong pitch to Harrison who intends to play both in college. Furthermore, he has strong familiarity with the Vols and the city of Knoxville, as he grew up playing in AAU tournaments around the area. He's developed a good relationship with tight ends coach Alec Abeln during his process, and Tennessee should be in this one for the long haul.
