After working with Harris at Elite 11 camps during his high school days, Whitfield is confident that the nation’s No. 3 dual-threat quarterback has the tools to make early impact at the college level.

"There isn’t a quarterback in this class with his arm talent,” Whitfield said. "You can print that and write that. There isn’t one kid. He will develop and he will get bigger.

"He reminds me of (Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston). Jameis was only 6-foot-2 and 190-pounds when he was at Elite 11 at that same age."

"Jump on it,” Whitfield responded when asked what he would tell his young quarterbacks if they received an offer from Cameron and LSU.

"This, to me, is one of the top destination spots now,” he said. "If I am a big-time high school quarterback with aspirations of playing in the NFL, and I want to win in college, this is one of those places on one hand now that you are going to find, and they will be for some time.

"The recruiting is going to shut it down. Most of the time, your big golden boys will float to Michigan or Southern California or Stanford. The bayou, that’s going to be interesting. You have all these big dudes blocking for you and all these jack rabbits in the huddle running. Then you have a defense like that?"
