Asked who’s been standing out to him this spring practice, Lorenzo Styles Jr. gave one name on Tuesday.
“I want to give a shout to my guy Malik Harford,” Styles said. “I don't really think it was just the spring. In the winter, offseason, he was going real hard. We have this thing where you grade out a champion and he holds himself to a high standard, and he did that. It’s translating to the field.”
He’s the latest in a line of people to talk up the junior safety. Hartford is competing with sophomore Jaylen McClain to start alongside Caleb Downs at safety, though it’s sounding more and more likely both will play, and indications are that his coaches and teammates expect a breakout year from Hartford.
