Michael Harris

School: Tucker (Tucker, Ga.)

Position: Inside linebacker

Height/weight: 6-foot-2, 213 pounds

Also considered: Ohio State, Georgia

247Sports composite ranking: Harris is a four-star recruit, rated as the No. 269 prospect nationally, the No. 13 inside linebacker and No. 30 prospect from Georgia.

How he fits into Auburn's plans: Time will tell whether Harris ends up being a linebacker or safety for Auburn, which has not signed many linebackers weighing 213 pounds or less. Auburn has to replace Tre' Williams and from a talent standpoint, Harris could grow into a prominent role on the defense in the future regardless of position.

Projection for 2018: Auburn is particularly deep at linebacker so it's difficult to slot any incoming player into a major role next season. If Harris is to remain at the second level of the defense, redshirting and adding size would not be a bad alternative. If he moves to safety, there would seemingly be more immediate opportunities.
