The Huskies just landed a big piece-literally and figuratively-for their future offensive line. Dominic Harris, a 3-star offensive tackle out of Clark High School in Las Vegas, has officially committed to the program. This is a significant pickup, especially considering the competition: Harris held offers from LSU, Auburn, and Arizona State, among others, before choosing to head north.
At 6-foot-7.5 and tipping the scales at 335 pounds, Harris brings the kind of size that jumps off the tape-and the recruiting rankings back it up. He’s rated as the No. 66 offensive tackle in the country and the No. 5 overall prospect in Nevada, per 247Sports.
But what makes Harris more than just a big body is how he moves. He’s not just a wall; he’s a wall with wheels.
Harris flashes impressive agility for his size, especially when pulling across the line or climbing to the second level. That’s a critical trait for any lineman in today’s game, where offenses are demanding more mobility from their front five.
Whether it’s sealing the edge on a stretch run or getting out in front of a screen, Harris has shown he can do it. That kind of versatility makes him a fit for either tackle spot, and it aligns perfectly with what Coach Jedd Fisch is building-a Big Ten-ready line built on size, strength, and athleticism.
Now, let’s be clear: Harris is still raw. He’s not a plug-and-play All-American just yet.
But you can’t coach size, and you certainly can’t coach the kind of nimble footwork he already shows on film. That blend of natural tools makes him an intriguing developmental piece with serious upside.
And he’s stepping into a situation where opportunity is very real. John Mills is the anchor of next year’s line, but beyond him, things are still unsettled. Soane Faasolo might be the only other returning tackle, and that opens the door for Harris to compete for early playing time-especially if the portal doesn’t bring in immediate reinforcements.
Bottom line: Dominic Harris is a foundational piece for the Huskies' future in the trenches. If he continues to develop and adjusts to the college game, he could be a name fans get to know quickly. With that frame, that movement, and that opportunity, don’t be surprised if Harris makes his presence felt sooner rather than later.
