All the talk this spring has been about sophomore running back Cam’Ron Harris, formerly Cam’Ron Davis. He has taken the backfield by storm and proved he could be a solid replacement for Travis Homer as he heads off to the NFL.

Harris, the former No. 7 running back in the 2018 class, showed some flashes last season of becoming a star, rushing for 166 yards and two touchdowns while averaging 5.9 yards per carry. He was a strong running and made the most of his carries behind Deejay Dallas and Homer.

Now that he’s likely the No. 2 option behind Dallas, he can focus on stealing some carries from the projected starter. He did just that this spring by showing his worth and some people close to the program have even stated that he looked like a future star for the Hurricanes.

According to those same sources close to the program who believe Harris will become a star running back, he looks like more of a dual-threat option out of the backfield than he did a year ago. If he can catch passes and average near 6.0 yards per carry, he’s going to be a star on a national level.
