Going into the 2025 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will examine each player listed on the Penn State roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover the player’s background, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season.
Cortez Harris joined a growing list of Maryland-born edge rushers to commit to Penn State, doing so in June 2024. He recently enrolled with the Nittany Lions, listed as a defensive lineman on the official team roster, meaning it’s undecided whether he’ll move to the interior or stay outside. Regardless, here’s a look at the freshman entering the 2025 season.
Preseason Player Profile
Hometown: Largo, Maryland
Height: 6-3
Weight: 222 lb
Class in 2025: Freshman
Recruiting Rankings
Class of 2025: 3-star recruit per 247Sports, On3 and ESPN and 4-star by Rivals, No. 39 edge rusher per 247Sports
Penn State beat out Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Texas A&M and others for Harris’ commitment.
Depth Chart Overview
It’s unlikely Harris sees much playing time, if any, as a true freshman. If he does, it’ll likely come in garbage time or on special teams.
