Oftentimes, fans put too much stock into star ratings and prognostications for players coming out of high school. When a four or five star hits, that’s what they’re expected to do. When they underperform, they’re a bust.
Trent Harris joined the Miami Hurricanes as a three-star prospect from Winter Park High School. Overshadowed by larger players with a couple more stars than himself, Harris was never deterred from working his way onto the field and earn his spot on the roster. Harris has had moments of brilliance throughout his career in UM’s defensive rotation since his arrival on campus, earning playing time throughout the season and getting his first career start against Pittsburgh late in 2014.
