Nov 12, 2023 | Men's Basketball
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis men's basketball head coach Penny Hardaway announced that Jared Harris has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Tiger program for the 2024-25 season.
Harris is rated a 4-star and ranks as the No. 86 overall prospect in the class according to the On3 consensus ranking.
"We are excited to have Jared join our Memphis Tiger Family," Hardaway said. "He is a multi-dimensional guard that brings several abilities to our program and is someone who fits the way we want to play. He has great positional size and at the same time, he is a terrific person and student."
Last season, as a junior at Silsbee High School, Harris averaged 18.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.0 steals in 37 games and guided his squad to the 4A regional final. He was a Beaumont Enterprise First-Team Super Gold selection and was named the Co-MVP of District 19-4A.
As a sophomore in 2021-22, Harris averaged 18.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.0 steals as he led the Tigers to the Class 4A state semifinals.
He played for the Houston Superstars AAU program under John Eurey the last two years.
A 6-foot-4, 175-pound guard out of Silsbee, Texas, Harris chose Memphis over offers from Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, LSU, Mississippi State and Texas A&M.
