The Indiana football program continues to make strong waves in the 2024 class. After an important official visit weekend, it received multiple commitments and has continued its surge by making a top list for Winton Woods (Oh.) wide receiver Tra’Mar Harris.

Harris named a top five on Wednesday that included Indiana, Michigan State, Purdue, Liberty and Cincinnati.

Harris is a three-star prospect in the 2024 class ranked the No. 99 wide receiver in the 247Sports Composite Rankings. He is the No. 24 player in Ohio.

At 6-foot-2 and 185-pounds, Harris is a versatile two-way player. Offensively, he had 53 receptions for 806 yards and 11 touchdowns as a junior in 13 games. He three 100+ yard receiving games.

Harris is fresh off of an official visit with the Indiana football program and has an upcoming visit to Purdue this weekend. He has already visited Michigan State earlier in June.

“We first heard about Harris from his highly recruited class of 2023 teammates Cameron Calhoun and Jermaine Mathews Jr. They promised he was a future star and that is exactly what Harris proved to be on the day,” Rivals.com wrote after its Ohio camp earlier this spring. “The 2024 receiver showed out on his home field with the size, speed, catch radius and the dog factor of a big-time recruit. Look for him to get a bump in his rating in our next update.”

Before trimming his recruitment to five, Harris held offers from Kentucky, Georgia Tech, NC State, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, UMass, Western Michigan and others.

He follows offensive line coach Bob Bostad who is in his first season with the Indiana football program following a sting with Wisconsin.

“Bob (Bostad) has been a tremendous track record in our conference. I already feel like we’ve gotten better, certain things that he’s brought,” Indiana football head coach Tom Allen said at Big Ten Media Day. ” … Got several guys that play a lot of football at that position for us. I’m excited for that group to lead us on our way on offense.”

Evans was a three-sport athlete in high school at Fort Atkinson (Wisc.). He earned First-Team All-Conference honors as a senior.

Evans was part of the 2022 class and was rated the No. 35 overall player in the state in the 247Sports rankings.
