Jackson State football co-offensive coordinator Maurice Harris has joined the staff at Auburn. Harris was hired as coach Hugh Freeze’s director of football and recruiting relations.
“God’s plan for our lives is bigger and better than anything we can imagine. Our job is to trust Him,” Harris wrote Monday on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Harris coached four seasons at Liberty as co-offensive coordinator and wide receiver coach under Freeze. And spent seven seasons at Ole Miss with Freeze as a tight end coach and recruiting coordinator.
While at Ole Miss, Harris coached tight end Evan Engram, who was selected as the No. 23 pick in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the New York Giants.
In his lone season at JSU, Harris helped lead the Tigers’ offense to the No. 1 offense in the Southwestern Athletic Conference with 389.4 yards of total offense.
With Harris departing, this marks the third co-coordinator to leave the Jackson State program since the 2023 season ended.
