RJ Harvey

Harvey (5’8/205) was recruited to Virginia as a quarterback and redshirted as a freshman. He then transferred to UCF, switching positions to running back in the process. Harvey didn’t play much as a sophomore and missed his entire junior season with a torn ACL. He finally cracked the lineup in 2022 and showed potential with 796 yards at 6.9 YPC. He upped that total to 1,416 in 2023 and hit the stratosphere last year with a 232/1,577/22 rushing line. Harvey finished sixth in the country in rushing yards and fourth in touchdowns despite ranking outside of the top 15 players in attempts. He also topped 200 receiving yards in each of his final three seasons and scored a trio of receiving touchdowns in 2024. Harvey plays bigger than his modest size, as evidenced by his elite touchdown production, and has excelled in the face of high volume. He also crushed the combine with a 4.4 Forty plus vertical and broad jumps above the 90th percentile. Despite a lackluster short shuttle, Harvey still walked away from the combine with an 8.94 RAS. The landing spot doesn’t get much better for Harvey. He joins a backfield currently headlined by Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime. Entering one of the league’s most barren running back rooms, Harvey will be a starting running back in Week 1 with a solid training camp.
