Donell Harris has been making news of late and now he knows when and where he will wrap up his high school career. It will be at Aloha Stadium as a Polynesian Bowl All-Star, it was announced on Thursday morning. The 2020 game, the fourth Polynesian Bowl, is set for January 18, 2020 in Honolulu, Hawaii. It will be televised by CBS Sports Network, an opportunity the 6-foot-4, 210-pound prospect is excited for.
"It's great to be a Polynesian Bowl All-Star," he told 247Sports. "It will be a great experience for me and my family! I've never been to Hawaii so that excites me the most. And I look forward to witnessing new things and the culture out there. "It will be a great experience to finish off my high school career."
Harris was originally a class of 2021 defensive end prospect until he found out he could move to the class of 2020, meaning the 2019 football season will be his last as a prep prospect. He also transferred high schools as he is planning on playing at Miami (Fla.) Gulliver Prep as a senior. He notched 21 sacks in 2018 at Miami (Fla.) Booker T. Washington High School. "It's been a smooth process," he said of the transition. "It's exciting for me because I'm experiencing new things at Gulliver and meeting new people. Reclassification is going well, too, and a lot of schools are coming really fast."
The four-star edge rusher, who
debuted in the latest Top247 rankings as the No. 3 weakside defensive end and No. 52 prospect overall on Tuesday, had been working with a top five of Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, LSU and Texas A&M. The Aggies get him on campus this weekend for the first time but other programs among the two dozen he reports scholarship offers from are back in communication since the move to the 2020 class.
"Other schools are pushing to get their way in," Harris said. "
Tennessee, Michigan, Penn State and South Carolina. Of those I've only been to South Carolina."
As one would imagine, the major transitions over the last month or so have slowed the decision-making portion of the recruiting process. Don't expect the rising-senior, who was committed to local program Miami for nearly a year before opening that portion of the process up in June, to make another pledge in the near future. "I'm not committing any time soon," he said.
