Former Alabama running back Damien Harris to join college football pregame show

A former star running back with the Alabama Crimson Tide, Damien Harris will be part of a weekly pregame show with CBS Sports HQ throughout the 2024 college football season.

Harris, who recently announced his retirement from the NFL, was previously set to join the Crimson Tide Sports Network as a sideline analyst for the 2024 season, but will now reportedly join CBS Sports as an analyst.

Harris’ prior role as Crimson Tide Sports Network sideline analyst will now reportedly be filled by former Alabama defensive lineman Damion Square.

A former Alabama running back, Harris spent four seasons with the Crimson Tide from 2015-18, winning two national championships with the program. Over that span, Harris would amass a combined 3,070 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns over 56 games from 2015-18, while also adding 407 yards and two scores in the receiving game.

After Alabama, Harris was selected in the third round of the 2019 NFL draft by the New England Patriots, and went on to play five seasons in the league, a majority of which were with the Patriots, prior to retiring this past spring.

Across his 44 career games with the Patriots and Buffalo Bills, Harris had a combined 2,188 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns from 2019-23, along with catching 42 passes for 297 yards.
