LaDarius Harris quietly becoming Southern Miss defensive stalwart

LaDarius Harris is quiet.

Calling the Southern Miss defensive lineman an introvert is probably overstating things a tad — but not by much. In fact, his calm, composed demeanor isn’t limited to his off-field qualities. No, Harris is every bit the cool presence on the gridiron as he is away from it.

Almost to a fault. So much so that even his own head coach, Jay Hopson, couldn’t appreciate his value to the team until he had time to fully dissect every second of every game of the 2016 season.
