Class of 2018 wide receiver Taj Harris committed to Syracuse, he announced on Saturday afternoon.

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound receiver from Palmyra (New Jersey) High School is ranked as a three-star recruit by 247Sports.com’s composite grades. He’s the 24th-best player in New Jersey and the 140th-best receiver nationally, according to the site.

“First I would like to give my mother a thanks for keeping my head on the right path throughout this process , along with friends and family,” Harris wrote on Twitter in his commitment post. “Thanks to the coaching staff and teachers at Palmyra high-school for helping me believe in myself , when nobody else was. I will like to give a thanks too all the schools who’ve been apart of my recruiting process. This has been nothing but a dream , and I wish the best too everyone.

He chose Syracuse over offers from Maryland, North Carolina State, Temple and Rutgers.

Harris runs the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds, according to his Hudl.com profile that was last updated in March. He also plays point guard on his school’s varsity basketball team.

Less than a week ago, on Sunday, class of 2018 wide receiver Anthony Queeley committed to the Orange. Harris is the third receiver in the class, joining Queeley and unranked Pennsylvanian Cooper Lutz.
