Marcell Harris (born June 9, 1994) is an American football linebacker who is a free agent. He played college football at Florida. Harris had 102 tackles and two interceptions between 2014 and 2016. Due to a torn Achilles tendon, he missed the 2017 season.
Harris was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the sixth round (184th overall) of the 2018 NFL draft.[1] On September 3, 2018, Harris was placed on injured reserve.[2] He was activated off injured reserve to the active roster on November 1, 2018.[3] In Week 16 against the Chicago Bears, Harris made a late hit on Mitchell Trubisky. As a result, he was fined $10,026 six days later.
On August 31, 2019, Harris was waived by the 49ers and was signed to the practice squad the next day.[4] [5] He was promoted to the active roster on October 3, 2019.[6]
During Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens, Harris forced a fumble on quarterback Lamar Jackson and recovered the football during a narrow 20–17 road loss.[7] The 49ers reached Super Bowl LIV, but lost 31–20 to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Harris signed a one-year contract extension with the 49ers on March 5, 2021.[8]
At the beginning of the 2021 NFL season, it was reported that Harris was making the switch from strong safety to linebacker.[9]
On April 25, 2022, Harris signed with the New York Jets.[10] Harris was released during final roster cuts on August 30.[11] He re–signed with the Jets on September 1.[12] He was released on November 24 and re-signed to the practice squad.[13]
On November 21, 2023, Harris was signed to the Houston Texans practice squad.[14] He was not signed to a reserve/future contract after the season and thus became a free agent when his practice squad contract expired.[15]
