Tavares Harrington was Michigan-bound for a few months, but he has decided to take his talents to SEC country.
The blue-chip cornerback announced Saturday, with the help of Hayes Fawcett, that he has flipped his commitment to Ole Miss. Harrington had been pledged to Michigan since May.
Out of Chicago (Illinois) Mount Carmel High School, Harrington is listed as measuring 6-3 and 185 pounds. On the 247Sports Composite, Harrington is rated 4-stars, the No. 8 player in the state of Illinois, No. 16 cornerback and No. 136 prospect overall in the Class of 2027.
Harrington had plenty of options in his recruitment, as he picked up a whopping 47 scholarship offers. In addition to Ole Miss and Michigan, Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Mizzou, Nebraska, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas A&M and USC were among the other programs to show interest.
With Harrington on board, Ole Miss now has 24 verbal pledges in its 2027 recruiting class ahead of next month’s Early Signing Period. Fans can get a preview of what Harrington brings to Oxford by checking out Hudl.
