Blue Valley offensive lineman AJ Harris signs with Missouri

The last 10 months have all led up to National Signing Day for Blue Valley High School offensive lineman AJ Harris.

After winning a Kansas Class 5A state championship with the Blue Valley Tigers in November, 2013, Harris announced his commitment in April, 2014, to become a Tiger of another sort and play at Missouri.

On Wednesday, Harris made it official.

“It’s like a final weight lifted off my shoulders,” Harris said. “I’ve known since last April, so it is great to have it signed and all over with.”

Harris is listed as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com and is ranked as the top prospect in Kansas. He was a three-year starter at Blue Valley and a finalist for the Buck Buchanan Award, which is presented to the Kansas City area’s best big-class lineman or linebacker at the Simone Awards ceremony.
