Transferred student thrives in Warriors' offensive unit at Stanford
Jackson Harris Transfers to Hawaii Rainbow Warriors for New Opportunities
Jackson Harris, a talented wide receiver, has left Stanford University and joined the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors football team. In his two seasons at Stanford, Harris played in nine games, catching at least one touchdown, before redshirting in 2023 and appearing in six games last season [2][4].
Harris' decision to transfer to Hawaii seems driven by a desire for new opportunities and potential growth. While the specific reasons for his move haven't been extensively detailed, his competitive spirit is evident as he prepares to face his former team, Stanford, on August 23, 2025 [3][5].
During his college career at Stanford, Harris displayed impressive skills, particularly in fades, crosses, and jump-ball plays. He also demonstrated a significant big-play potential, with an average targeted depth of 18.2 yards during his Stanford career [6]. However, he felt that he wasn't getting the playing time he desired in Troy Taylor's run-heavy offense [7].
Harris' path to Hawaii began when Jared Ursua, the receivers coach for the Rainbow Warriors, initiated contact with him. Ursua and Harris bonded over the offense at Hawaii, which is designed to throw the ball extensively. During a UH-sponsored recruiting trip, Harris also bonded with Kentucky transfer Brandon White and embraced the "braddahhood" [8].
Head coach Timmy Chang expressed his enthusiasm about Harris joining the team, and during mid-day football practices, Harris has been performing well, even in challenging conditions [1]. Harris committed to the University of Hawaii during his visit and is now gearing up for the upcoming season.
