HARMON ON MICHIGAN STATE:
“I chose Michigan State because as soon as I was on campus it felt like home.”
COACH TUCKER ON HARMON:
"Derrick is just a giant human being, he occupies four hands to block him, he’s just massive in the middle and is a dancing bear as a pass rusher, but he is a very athletic player for his size. He is a man amongst boys, and he can win with power and strength as well as quickness and suddenness. He showed quick hands and a solid tool belt of pass rush moves, showed lateral strength and quickness as a run defender and really controlled the line of scrimmage on first and second down."
