Jermari Harris is a collegiate football cornerback who formerly represented Iowa from 2019 to 2024. At the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, he measured in at almost 6’1 and 191 lbs, with an arm length of just a tick below 31.5 inches and a hand size of 9.75 inches. His prospect grade, 5.80, projects him as an average backup or a special team member in the pros. His Next Gen Stats score of 63 is considered average (via NFL’s official website). Harris attended Montini Catholic High School where coach Mike Bukovsky took him under his wing, as per Iowa Hawkeyes' official website.
Following his high school career, Harris committed to the Iowa Hawkeyes football program, where he played from 2019 until the end of the 2024 season. Harris’s six years at Iowa saw him take the field 42 times. After seeing gameday actions in his first two seasons, he became a regular in the Hawkeyes' secondary lineup since his 2021 campaign, as he played in all 13 games that year, while starting in six of them at cornerback. Unfortunately, the 2022 season was a complete wash for the defensive back, as he missed an entire season without playing a single snap due to an injury. Nevertheless, he bounced back strongly in his next season, winning the Comeback Player of the Year award after starting at cornerback in 12 games (via Iowa Hawkeyes' official website). Harris recorded 105 total tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 8 interceptions, and 19 pass deflections as a member of the Hawkeyes' from 2019 to 2024. (via Sports Reference)
