N'keal Harry Commits to Arizona State: What 4-Star WR Brings to Sun Devils

Tyler DonohueNov 2, 2015

According to AZCentral.com's Richard Obert, wide receiver N'keal Harry revealed his college plans on Monday afternoon during a commitment ceremony held at Chandler High School in Arizona.

The 4-star prospect pledged to Arizona State over fellow finalists Texas A&M, Oregon, Washington and USC:

His decision provides the Sun Devils with a pivotal recruiting victory over three Pac-12 rivals and an Aggies squad that's pried elite talent away from Arizona during recent cycles.

Harry, a 6'4", 210-pound playmaker, is rated 16th nationally among 2016 receivers. He's considered a top-100 overall recruit and the No. 1 senior player in his home state.

A lengthy list of scholarship offers also features Nebraska, Wisconsin, Oregon State and Arizona. He's one of the most heavily targeted offensive prospects in the Southwest in this cycle.

Harry is currently enjoying a career-best campaign at Chandler, a perennial powerhouse in the suburban Phoenix area. Though he missed the team's most recent game with an ankle injury, Harry has 44 receptions for 784 yards and seven touchdowns through nine contests, per MaxPreps.

He hauled in 30 passes for 657 yards and 13 touchdowns as a junior last season, according to Obert.

Harry is a long-limbed athlete who excels in traffic and makes life easier for quarterbacks with an expansive catch radius. He's not a burner but manages to burst through cuts and exhibits above-average agility for a player of his physical stature.

It's also impressive to see an athlete with such length sustain enough coordination to be labeled a quality route-runner at this age.

There's plenty of room for growth in his downfield approach, but there are a lot of things to like about how he handles different roles in the offensive attack.

His physicality sets the stage for sizable gains after the catch and allows him to power through arm tackles. Harry needs to work on extending for the football, but it's a nuance that he's worked on as an upperclassman, and that technique should come more naturally through collegiate repetitions.

Arizona State has added another dynamic playmaker to a passing game that presently features five players with at least 20 receptions through eight games.

Expect Harry to quickly build a rapport with freshman quarterback Brady White, a 2015 Elite 11 finalist who could become the face of this Sun Devils attack if he beats out Manny Wilkins and Bryce Perkins next year.

Head coach Todd Graham targeted Harry as a coveted in-state commodity and actually traveled to his high school last Friday via helicopter, according to Blair Angulo of Rivals.com.

Arizona State has landed a potential immediate-impact wide receiver with elite size and, perhaps most importantly, sent a message to programs attempting to raid its home recruiting turf.
