Tulane is planning a much bigger weekend for next weekend, the last one before the Dec. 18 early signing day. This weekend, it is all players already committed plus one very interesting uncommitted prospect (see below) in Highland CC LB CJ Harris, whom Rivals.com lists as Curtis Harris, as does the Highland CC website.

ALREADY COMMITTED

Justin Ibieta
Noah Taliancich
Duece Watts
Phat Watts
Brandon Brown
Reggie Brown
Elijah Champaigne
Ethan Barr

UNCOMMITTED

CJ Harris, a no-star, 6-0, 218-pound LB from Highland CC (Kansas).

Skinny: Rivals lists him with offers from Toledo and Tulane. 247 Sports lists his only offer as being from Arkansas State. This was his only year at Highland, and he had 37 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble and 1 blocked kick this year for a team that went 6-4, but here's the caveat: he did it in only four games, racking up 9 tackles in the opener, 11 tackles in the second game and 13 against Coffeyville in game 4. He hurt his finger bad after two games and tried to play through it, registering only 4 tackles in the third game, and the coaches/doctor made him have season-ending surgery after the fourth game. All of his tackles for loss came in the first two games. He played his senior year of high school (2017) at powerhouse program Warner Robins (Ga.), primarily at safety where he had two interceptions and three forced fumbles for a team that reached the state championship game, but he would play LB at Tulane.


That's not the most interesting part of his story, though. He has epilepsy and was ticketed to go to Auburn as a preferred walk-on in 2018 before the Tigers pulled the offer because he was taking medical marijuana to treat the epilepsy. I think he went to a prep school in 2018.

Former LSU and NFL center Alan Faneca dealt with epilepsy, as did Samari Rolle. If properly treated, it's not a condition that prevents players from excelling in football.

Considering his ability, I think he would be an outstanding get. The two schools recruiting him the hardest other than Tulane are Arkansas State and ULL. Ole Miss was close to offering him before it fired its coaches.
