Sophomore offensive lineman Knijeah Harris enrolled at the University of Florida in 2023 and immediately found himself on the Gators’ two deep depth chart. When Micah Mazzccua was dealing with a shoulder injury in fall camp last year, Harris was taking first team reps as a true freshman.

The 6’3, 321-pound guard played in all 12 games including one start in 2023, logging 171 snaps and grading as Florida’s 3rd best offensive lineman amongst players with 150+ snaps, according to Pro Football Focus.

“He was a mid-year (enrollee) and he just took advantage of the youth that we had on the O-line and was able to get reps with the 2s and then play some last year,” Head Coach Billy Napier said on the experience Harris gained last year.
