Student Athlete Profile: Jackson and Jalen Harris

Brothers Jackson and Jalen Harris have been star players this season on the football field. While being brothers who play together isn’t always easy, they say that the whole team is very connected. “The football team is like a brotherhood, so we all push each other to be better, as players and as young men,” said Jackson, the older of the two. Though they haven’t had any fights this season, there is definitely a bit of competition. When asked if there was any rivalry between the two, Jalen said, “Yes, definitely.” While Jackson said, “I’m better, and that’s pretty much it.” Despite this, the siblings make a very good team on the field. They have a play where Jackson, who plays wide receiver, throws, runs, or hands off the ball to Jalen, who plays running back, in a formation that is fittingly called “Brothers”.
