Nic Harris Looks to the Draft

This'll be fun, reporting about an Oklahoma player who shares my first name....minus the K.

But former OU safety Nic Harris has definitely lit up the field in his time as a Sooner. His senior season alone contained 75 tackles, making him fourth overall on the team. Three tackles for a loss, one fumble recovery, one interception and three forced fumbles can also be added to his resume over this past season.

The two-year starter also adopted a very versatile role in this last season, having to shift positions to middle linebacker in multiple games due to many injuries on the position.

The Oklahoma Daily sat down with Harris to get his thoughts on the weekend draft which will determine his future in professional football.

Harris expressed a willingness to play either as safety or linebacker on the pro field, as long as he's on the field period.

He says his knowledge of the game will give him an edge in the draft. He says he hopes his ability to make the calls as well as make the plays will make him successful in the pros.

Harris said he's looking forward to being a largely successful player in the NFL, not just wearing the helmet. He wants to make himself as marketable as possible on the field.

He has predicted he won't be getting any sleep the night before the announcements. He says he's planning a major extravaganza with family and friends as it's happening and will try to use it to give back to his community in an undisclosed way.

Nic claimed he worked out with St. Louis, New England, and Buffalo. He said he's also met up with Atlanta, Carolina, Jacksonville, among other teams.

We'll find out where the Sooner Safety Star will go on Saturday.
