The Aztecs Just Found Their Next Miles Byrd. His Name Is Davey Harris.

Davey Harris gives San Diego State an intriguing possibility: a wing who can help create offense while developing within the program’s defensive identity. His athleticism should give him a path onto the floor. His shooting and decision-making will determine how much responsibility he earns once he gets there.

The Windward prospect, listed by Prep Hoops at 6-foot-7 in the 2027 class, brings more than above-the-rim finishes. Scouting reports describe a player who can rebound, push the ball himself, attack closeouts and score from multiple areas. That combination could give SDSU another way to create advantages without asking its point guard to manufacture every opportunity. (prephoops.com)

There is encouraging evidence behind his perimeter potential. At the 2026 Nevada Live Invitational, Harris averaged 19.7 points and three made three-pointers per game, according to Scope Scouting. Those are tournament numbers, rather than full-season averages, but they show how dangerous he can become when defenders have to respect both his jumper and his ability to attack the basket.

His passing adds another layer. Scout Devin Ugland highlighted Harris’s ability to penetrate and find teammates when help defenders commit. For the Aztecs, that could translate into a valuable secondary creator: catch the ball against a shifting defense, get downhill and either finish or deliver the next pass. (sportscasting.com)

Miles Byrd, now at Providence, offers a useful college comparison for the role Harris could grow into. Byrd showed how a versatile perimeter player can contribute through defense, rebounding and playmaking without relying entirely on scoring. Harris has a path toward that kind of responsibility, although matching Byrd’s defensive impact is a substantial projection—Byrd earned Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2026.

The realistic early expectation is a competition for rotation minutes. Transition finishes, timely cuts and activity on the glass could help Harris contribute while he adjusts to college basketball. Sustained playing time will depend on defending within the system, protecting the ball and making open shots. His physical tools create possibilities; executing those details will earn trust.

As for NIL value, no verified public valuation or confirmed deal surfaced in the available reporting. A specific dollar figure would be speculation. His scoring ability and athletic highlights offer potential marketing appeal, but his earning power will depend on production, visibility and audience engagement.

For SDSU, the excitement is in how those pieces could come together. A dependable jumper would force defenders to close out hard. His ability to drive and pass could then punish that pressure. Add reliable defense, and Harris has a route to becoming a versatile starter who makes the offense harder to guard.
