Physical Profile
Listed at 6-0, 225 lbs. Taller than 7% and heavier than 68% of 2025 Linebacker prospects in the SEC Scouts database (136 with a listed size).
Play Style
Based on his rating profile and regional success, Harmon likely projects as a traditional linebacker with good instincts and competitive traits.

- Regional recruiting success in talent-rich Georgia suggests he's competed against elite competition and performed consistently
- Early Tennessee commitment shows strong relationship-building skills and program fit identification
Areas to Improve
- Limited national recruiting profile suggests need to expand recognition through camp participation and consistent film production
- Lack of multiple P5 offers indicates potential concerns about certain technical aspects or physical development that need refinement
College Projection
Should compete for early playing time at Tennessee, likely beginning on special teams with potential for rotational linebacker duties by sophomore year. His rating suggests he has the tools to develop into a multi-year starter in the SEC.
NFL Outlook
As a 4-star prospect with strong composite rating, Harmon has the baseline talent to potentially develop into an NFL-caliber player if he maximizes his physical development and technical skills at the college level. Success will depend on his ability to excel in SEC competition.
Best Fit
Programs that emphasize linebacker development and utilize multiple linebacker sets will maximize his potential. Tennessee's commitment suggests they view him as a scheme fit for their defensive philosophy and have identified specific traits that translate to their system.
Player Comparison
