Former Georgia Bulldog cornerback A.J. Harris, who now plays for the Penn State Nittany Lions, is among the top risers in EA Sports College Football 25. Harris has emerged as one of Penn State’s top defenders. His rating in College Football 25 increased from 82 overall to 84 overall in a recent update.
Harris’ impact is felt beyond the video game world. The former Georgia cornerback has 11 total tackles and one interception this season.
Harris, a former five-star recruit, recorded his first career interception in Penn State’s 21-7 win over Illinois last week.
Unfortunately the sophomore’s pick six against Illinois was called back due to a penalty. Harris showed lots of promise as a true freshman at Georgia, but as Harris’ freshman season went on he saw less snaps with the UGA defense.
The Bulldogs could have used another body to throw at Alabama star wide receiver Ryan Williams last week. Georgia did not stop Williams from scoring two long touchdowns in UGA’s 41-34 loss to Alabama.
Here’s a look at A.J. Harris’ first career interception.
