CINCINNATI — Cincinnati football has another transfer portal addition on the board in its secondary.

Tennessee safety Christian Harrison is rolling with UC in 2025. He is the son of two-time Super Bowl champion safety Rodney Harrison.

Harrison tallied 20 tackles and one pass breakup this past season and holds two more seasons of eligibility. The 6-1 talent chose Cincinnati over schools like Texas A&M and Ole Miss after playing mostly slot cornerback and box safety at Tennessee.

He amassed a 66.2 PFF grade across 295 snaps in 2024 and is a solid piece in the UC cornerback room as a slot stalwart. 

Cincinnati has added one other cornerback from the portal so far in former Coastal Carolina standout Matthew McDoom. Harrison is Cincinnati's 14th addition from the portal this cycle.
