Barnes has been vocal about adding offensive production this transfer cycle. Harris brings that to Tennessee.
Harris departs Wake Forest after one of the most productive seasons in program history. He set a Wake Forest record with 35 straight games in double-digit scoring to begin the 2025-26 season. He finished with 730 points, second all-time for single-season scoring. Harris finished the season with 21.4 points per game, an average that ticked up to 22.9 points per game in ACC play, the second-best mark in school history.
Entering 2026-27, Harris will be a junior. As a freshman, he played in 29 games of the 2024-25 season, making 1 start for the Demon Deacons. He stepped into a starting role this past season, seeing his minutes per game increase from 19.4 to 35.2. Harris is a career 44% shooter from the field, making 32.8% of his 3-point attempts.
