Harrar is athletic, plays hard and has unreal potential. From where we sit, he could be an NFL offensive tackle someday.

How athletic is this versatile player? He plays the four [power forward] for his high school, where he is averaging 20 [pts] and 10 [rebounds]. So much that his basketball highlights are just as exciting as those from the gridiron.

Skill-set sound familiar? Yes, Alejandro Villanueva brought those same qualities to the table and had them refined during his tenure wearing the Black & Gold of Army, which are now on display as the starting offensive tackle with Pittsburgh Steelers.
