Andrew Harris is rated as the 245th best player in the 2026 class and has a bevy of elite high-level offers. One of those came from the University of Michigan, and when they offered the Wolverines put on a full court blitz for the talented EDGE. Harris said his primary recruiter, defensive line coach Lou Esposito, texted him every single day early on in his recruitment. Harris stated that since the initial phase of his recruitment it seems as if communication from the Michigan staff has died down quite a bit, but his interest in the program has not waned.

Harris is also looking at Ohio State, NC State, Auburn, and South Carolina. He's a unique recruit with a skill set that would allow the U-M caching staff to utilize him in a variety of ways. Standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing in at 210 pounds, Harris has some room to grow and has been athletic enough on the high school level to play linebacker, EDGE, and fullback

Harris said that he is still a huge fan of Esposito and high on Michigan after taking a visit last summer. He does project as an EDGE/linebacker at the next level and his diversity is another appealing piece to his recruitment. It is very rare that a recruit verbalizes that he wants a program to reengage in their recruitment. Defensive coordinator Wink Martindale and Esposito will surely increase communication now that Harris has thrown up the flare that his interest in coming to Ann Arbor is real.
