Scout calls Marcus Harris a 'True sleeper'

Auburn has had a few players step up this season but arguably, Marcus Harris is the most underrated strength of the Auburn defense this season.

The NFL Draft will be paying close attention to Harris after this season as he has done enough to earn draftable grades based on his play so far this season.

Jim Nagy, the executive director of the Senior Bowl, tweeted out some praise about Harris before the game against LSU.

"There aren’t many true sleepers this far into (College Football) season but (Auburn) DT Marcus Harris probably qualifies since we haven’t seen his name on here at all," Nagy tweeted. "Former Kansas transfer grew on @seniorbowl staff during tape study with his instincts & activity. We had two of his Park Crossing HS (Ala.) teammates in last year’s game—Patriots QB (Malik Cunningham) & Packers WR (Grant Dubose)."
