2025 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about RJ HARVEY:
Central Florida | Hometown: Orlando, FL | HT: 5080 | WT: 205 | 40 time: 4.40 | Hand: 0900 | Arm: 2900 | Wing: 7114
Two-year starter. Two-time All-Big 12, first team in 2024 after leading the conference in regular season rushing yards. Left Central Florida number two on the program’s list in both career and single season yards on the ground. The high school quarterback began his career at Virginia where he redshirted in 2019. He missed the 2021 season with a torn ACL suffered in preseason camp. His movement traits and vision will create production on their own. Add in the speed and his receiver-caliber hands, he will be useful in multiple areas of the offense. The quick burst and low-to-ground running style is the type of trait combination that can create a yard if he is given an inch, and ten yards if he is given one. He may not be complete enough to be a top back for a team, but as a complementary piece his value can be the difference maker an offense needs. Well-built lower half that can hide the sheer size shortcoming. Quick in a phone booth with the burst to create sudden separation from defenders. Has the final gear to get away from real NFL speed. Rarely gets caught from behind. Tough and hard-nosed. Can put his head down and fall forward. Excellent hands that get to the ball away from his frame and is lethal in space after the catch. Does not have enough power to push piles inside. Will get too dance-happy at times. Needs more urgency running north/south. A below average blocker who is both ineffective and shows questionable desire. Older than the average prospect.
