The Cincinnati Bearcats star safety Christian Harrison plans to enter the transfer portal after a stellar Junior season. Harrison is the son of NFL Hall of Famer Rodney Harrison and transferred to Cincinnati after spending 3 seasons at Tennessee.

Harrison found himself in a starting role at Cincinnati after not seeing the field much in Knoxville across 3 seasons. This season, Harrison totaled 40 solo tackles, 26 assisted tackles, 7 pass deflections, and 1 interception. Harrison had the second-most snaps of any player on the Bearcats' defense, and now he is in the portal.
