He doesn't get as much attention as fellow true freshman Jay Crawford on defense or wide receivers like Cam Coleman and Malcolm Simmons, but I believe safety Kaleb Harris has been the most consistent of the newcomers and also one of the best players on the Auburn defense in his first season out of high school.
