Florida Atlantic Men’s Basketball received their second commitment via the transfer portal on Thursday morning, landing talented forward Josh Harris. Travis Branham posted the commitment on Twitter/X and Josh Harris himself confirmed it via his Instagram.

Harris, a Pembroke Pines native, started his college career at North Florida, where he averaged 13.4 points and 7.1 rebounds on a terrific 55% shooting from the field and was named the Atlantic-Sun Freshman of the Year in the 2024-25 season. He then transferred to Indiana, where he did not play this past season due to injury.

Harris will bring much-needed size to FAU’s frontcourt as he stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 225 lbs. As far as his skillset goes, he mostly plays inside the arc as roughly 80% of Harris’s shots at North Florida came at the rim. The forward also excels on the offensive glass, where he ranked inside the top-75 in offensive rebounds in 2024-25.

Aside from being athletic, lengthy, and bringing a great presence around the basket, Harris also has shown the ability to step out and knock down threes every now and again, where he shot 33% from the 3-point line with the Ospreys.

This is another great add from John Jakus via the portal as Josh Harris should be a sure-fire starter at the 3 or 4 spot for the Owls next season.

Welcome to Paradise, Josh!
