The former Alabama running back officially signed with the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday. Harris' recruiting battle seemed to be a dead heat between Alabama and Michigan back in 2016, and eventually he decided to commit to Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide as an early enrollee in January of 2017.

Harris went on to become a two-time national champion and unanimous all-American at Alabama before getting drafted in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's spent the last four seasons with the Steelers and was signed to the one-year deal with the Chargers, finally getting to play for Harbaugh.
