High school career

Harris attended Gadsden City High School in Alabama, where he was a teammate of fellow Crimson Tide players Kendall Kelly and Dre Kirkpatrick. As a senior he registered 145 tackles (97 solo), 16 tackles for loss, three pass break-ups, 20 quarterback pressures, four caused fumbles, three recovered fumbles. Harris also returned one fumble for a touchdown and scored on an interception return. He amassed 130 tackles, three interceptions and two sacks as a junior.

Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Harris was listed as the No. 3 outside linebacker prospect in the country, behind only Nigel Bradham and Arthur Brown.[2] Harris was also considered to be the best run stopper among all linebackers.[3] He chose Alabama over Auburn, Tennessee and Clemson, among others.

College career

As a true freshman in 2008, Harris made frequent appearances on special teams. He played in 10 games for Alabama in 2008, including the last seven contests of the season, and totaled three tackles with two solo stops. In the offseason, he bulked up to 230 pounds from around 212 in 2008.[4]

Sophomore season

For the 2009 season, Harris was assigned to back up Cory Reamer at strongside linebacker in Alabama's 3-4 defense.[5]

Harris was suspended before Alabama's game vs Virginia Tech for rules violations.
