After starting three years at Alabama, linebacker Christian Harris will now take his talents to the Houston Texans.

Harris arrived in Tuscaloosa in 2019 and started right away for the Crimson Tide where he made strides with his fundamentals and showed off his impressive athletic ability. During the 2021 season, Harris recorded 79 total tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, three pass deflections and a forced fumble. His efforts during his final year helped him become a semifinalist for the Butkus Award.

Harris was also a major contributor to Alabama’s 2020 national championship defense where he started all 13 games for Pete Golding’s unit.

He will now be joining Crimson Tide teammate John Metchie down in Houston.
