Here’s a condensed version of the Redblacks interview with Harry.

REDBLACKS: Would you consider yourself a leader in the back end?

HARRY: I’m a silent leader, I’m not one to go out and start screaming at guys to get them hyped up. I would like to more lead by example.

REDBLACKS: From a physical perspective, what is your greatest trait?

HARRY: I’m a playmaker. When the ball’s in the air, I want it. I feel like it’s mine, I deserve it. I’ll high point it, not a lot of DBs do that.

REDBLACKS: What do you need to work on?

HARRY: My bench(press). That’s obvious.

REDBLACKS: In the past, what have your bench numbers been?

HARRY: Not so good. When I broke my arm, I wasn’t confident in benching.

REDBLACKS: As part of your evolution as a player, you haven’t been able to get that much stronger?

HARRY: At the bench, specifically. In other aspects — squats, cleans, stuff like that — I’m very confident.

REDBLACKS: Have you ever done anything outside of the framework of a (play) call (by the coach)?

HARRY: No. I can’t do that. I can’t do my own thing. It’s a team effort. If it’s a Cover 3, I can’t just go out and press the guy because I know I’m supposed to have that deep third. I can’t let the other guys down because of ego.

REDBLACKS: What is your motivation, what is your why?

HARRY: Definitely my parents, my family. They support me in everything I do. They’re why I push myself, they’re why I compete, they’re why I want to win. I want to make them proud.

REDBLACKS: Do you consider yourself a physical player.
