Four-star guard Katrelle Harmon produces during AAU season, gives thoughts on top six
By SAM LANCE
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. — It’s hard to find a tougher player in the 2026 class than four-star prospect Katrelle Harmon. The 6-foot-5 point guard out of Wasatch Academy (UT) was electric all summer long for Vegas Elite on the EYBL circuit, and when his team needed him most, he played through injury.
At Peach Jam, Harmon was nursing a hurt knee, and you could see it was tough for him to simply walk around. He still played in all five games and contributed 9.0 points and 3.0 assists for Vegas, who just missed out on the Peach Jam final bracket. With a healthy Harmon, Vegas was seen as a team capable of winning it all. Harmon was asked about playing through his knee injury at Peach.
“I’m just trying to win for real,” he said. “So if we’re winning and I tear it at the end of the year or end of the game, it’s whatever. It ain’t really nothing for real.”
Harmon has since returned to the court healthy and was able to attend Chris Paul Elite Guard Camp, which took place in Las Vegas from July 29-Aug. 1. He’ll be playing in the Strictly HS 3×3 Nationals event in Minnetonka (MN) next weekend, Aug. 9, representing Team Utah. His teammates include Junior County, Dean Rueckert and Jamyn Sondrup.
When Harmon was fully healthy, he was one of the most productive players in EYBL. During the 14-game regular season, the point guard averaged 15.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists. He was the initiator of the offense and the engine that made Vegas Elite go.
Katrelle Harmon was one of the best combo guards in the EYBL.

Good size, length, touch, & skill. Real versatility in his individual offense & so smooth. Just now starting to absorb contact at the rim.

On the recruitment front, Harmon has narrowed down his list to six schools: Alabama, Creighton, Iowa, Oregon, Rutgers and Washington. Since narrowing it down, Harmon has continued to pick up offers from schools like Seton Hall, SMU and UCLA. Harmon said he’s still open to programs even with his list cut.
“I’ll say until I’m committed for real, if you’re still showing me love and staying in contact with me, anything can happen,” Harmon said.
So far in the process, Harmon has taken official visits to Creighton and Iowa in June. He’s also set his first fall official visit to Alabama on Sept. 6. He plans on visiting the rest of his finalists at some point this fall. Harmon has not given any thought to a decision timeline.
The four-star point guard broke down his top schools to ZAGSBLOG:
Alabama: “They have a winning program. They know how to develop guys and put them in the league. So it’s just — their staff went to the league and some of them played in the league too. So it’s just trying to surround myself with people that can help me get there.”
Creighton: “[The visit] was fun. I liked it a lot. We watched team practice, had dinner with the team, had lunch with the team. I hung out with a couple players and when I was there, they had the college baseball world series. So we went there too, watched a little bit of that.”
What stood out from practice: “Just how hard they go. They don’t go for two hours, but they go hard for an hour and a half, go back and then do either individual workouts, homework, all of that.”
His fit in system: “They said if I’m going there I just have to outplay one person. But that’s my guy, my guy Ty [Davis]. So it’s going to be a dog fight if I go there.”
Iowa: “They’re real point guard heavy. They run all of their offense through their point guard. When it breaks down, they find their point guard and have him create for teammates.”
Oregon: “Culture and how they develop guys and get them to the NBA. The coach [Dana Altman] has been there for like 20 some years. So he knows how to win. He knows how to get kids to fit the system.”
Rutgers: “Big guards. Last year they had Dylan [Harper] and Ace [Bailey], and they both just went top five. So I mean, see what they do this year.”
Washington: “Hometown. That’s my hometown, so you know I’ve always liked it. It also fits me too. But it’s just, who’s going to be there when I’m there, the guards at my spot? Coach [Danny] Sprinkle lets hoop for sure. Just defense and hoop.”
An important factor in Harmon’s decision will be focused on the program’s roster and who will be there when he’s there.
“And if they’re going to let me hoop,” Harmon said. “Winning culture. Good development program.”
Harmon is ranked the No. 55 overall prospect in the 2026 class via 247Sports. His father, Leonard Harmon, played Division III basketball and spent some time playing overseas.
