Hall of Famer
Harvill is a defensive tackle at Shiloh Christian (class of 2011) who is literally the strongest kid in the country (550-pound bench press at 16, which is the world-record holder for his age group). i've mentioned him a few times before, but i thought it was time for his own thread.
but he's more than just a super strongman. he is utterly dominant, as shown on his highlight video. from having watched him play several times, on any play that he's not at least double-teamed (he's often triple-teamed, if you can believe it) he is making things happen in the backfield.
he continues this complete dominance at every combine he goes to ... as the below video demonstrates. yes, he destroys "real affletes" on a regular basis.

by any measure imaginable (except the melanin test), he's the prototype ... as he's the best everywhere he goes. check out his resume:

- 2 Time State Title Game Lineman MVP

- Morning News Defensive Player of the Year

- Schuman's National Combine MVP
Career stats (after his junior year):
254 tackles
56 tackles for loss
36 sacks
3 forced fumbles
4 fumble recoveries
1 interception
now just imagine if he actually had talent.
but, all facts aside, the DWFsstill insist he is too small (6-0, 255-pounds at 16 years of age), too slow (4.9), isn't explosive (4.77 shuttle, 30-inch vertical), has no leg strength (550-pound squat),has too little upside (surely, he can't keep improving!), and is basically too White to be any good. the coaches at Arkansas apparently agree, as they didn't offer him.
he's committed to Kansas State.Edited by: Jimmy Chitwood
