There’s nothing better than a good signing day (week?) surprise. The one that will always stick in the back of my mind is Charles Harris. The former Lincoln Prep graduate committed to the Tigers on Signing Day back in 2013 and the collective response was... “Who?!”
That turned out alright. He turned out to be a 2-time All-SEC selection, was selected in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft and was a significant piece of Missouri’s continued “D-Line Zou” mantra.
Harris is the outlier. Signing day surprises have become more rare by the year, and even when they do happen - especially players who come out of nowhere - it feels like they fizzle out more often than not.
