Kendre Harrison, one of the nation’s top high school football recruits from the Class of 2026, has transferred back to Reidsville High School after leaving the school this summer and starting the 2024 North Carolina high school football season at Providence Day (North Carolina).

As reported over the weekend, the four-star recruit did not play in the Chargers’ 63-15 rout of Charlotte Country Day and, according to the Charlotte Observer, was not injured and not in attendance.

Chargers' coach Chad Grier told the Charlotte Observer he didn’t know if Harrison would play again for Providence Day. 

“You have to ask Kendre about that,” Grier told the Charlotte Observer.

Word of the potential return to Reidsville came in the form of a rumor which circulated on message boards, but was not confirmed until Harrison posted it on X on Monday.

Harrison has 13 catches for 153 yards and a touchdown in three games for Providence. On defense, he has 8 tackles, 1.5 sacks and 5 hurries.

The two-sport star recently narrowed his college choice to six schools – Florida State, Miami, North Carolina, Oregon, Penn State and Tennessee.

Harrison has expressed hopes of playing both sports in college. He has basketball offers from North Carolina, Florida State, Georgetown, North Carolina State, Oregon, Penn State, Texas A&M and Wake Forest.

In the 2023 season, Harrison caught 62 passes for 940 yards and 16 touchdowns. He recorded 76 tackles and 9 sacks on defense. 

Harrison also helped lead Reidsville to an undefeated season in basketball that culminated with the Class AA state championship.
