4. Juan Harris (DL, Redshirt Sophomore)

A familiar name to Indiana Football fans, Harris was lost with a season ending injury during his freshman season, transferring to Independence CC where he played last year.

Now back at Indiana, Harris looks to fill a hole left by the departures of Ja’Merez Bowen, Niles Sykes and Jacob Robinson.

With the availability of Leshaun Minor Jr in question, the ability for Harris to come in right away with familiarity of the Indiana defense and contribute right away is something Tom Allen needs from him.

Last season at Independence CC, Harris averaged 4.2 tackles per game, appearing in nine games.

At 6-foot-3 and 350 pounds, look for Harris to be a stuffer in the middle of the defensive line that has a few question marks heading into the season.
