Harris transferred from Idaho last year and showed off enough in camp to win the second starting cornerback job. Harris finished seventh on the team with 46 tackles, third with six pass deflections, and also racked up two interceptions and a forced fumble. Helping lock down the other side ensured Cal had an above average defense in 2024.

Cal has now seen four Golden Bears drafted this year, which is the most since 2016 and equals the amount of Cal Bears drafted in the previous three seasons. Harris joins Nohl Williams (Chiefs), Craig Woodson (Patriots) and Teddye Buchanan (Ravens) in fulfilling their pro dreams. Harris is the third transfer player (along with Buchanan and Williams) to make the league for Cal this year, as the transfer portal proved critical in uplifting a beleaguered Golden Bear defense.

Congrats on making the pros Marcus! See you on Sundays!
