Ole Miss Flips Michigan Recruit for Huge 'Shark Business'

Ole Miss football secured a major recruiting coup on Saturday by flipping four-star safety Tavares Harrington from Michigan. The 6-foot-3 defensive prospect announced his commitment to the Rebels, adopting the team's 'Land Sharks' moniker with a "shark business" declaration.

This significant addition to the 2027 recruiting class comes from defensive coordinator Pete Golding's efforts. Recruiting analysts like Allen Trieu of Rivals project Harrington's versatility, noting his strong play recognition and tackling abilities.

While he could initially play boundary corner, Harrington's size and skillset suggest he may develop into a nickelback or even a safety. This flip follows another major recruiting success for Ole Miss with the commitment of the nation's top wide receiver for 2029, Matthew Fletcher, just days prior.
