A native of Tallahassee, Fla., Harrison was selected in the third round (93rd overall pick) following a productive junior year.
The 6-foot-2, 207-pounder tied a team-high 74 tackles, including 13 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. He also recorded four pass breakups and three interceptions, en route to assisting the Crimson Tide to a national championship in 2017.
Harrison was graded at 5.82 via NFL.com, which means he has a “chance to become an NFL starter.” He joins a secondary littered with talent that includes A.J. Bouye, Jalen Ramsey and Barry Church and a defense overall that has Telvin Smith, Calais Campbell and Marcell Dareus.
