Harris is the undeniable linchpin of the Pforzheim Wilddogs’ offense as they embark on their inaugural 2025 season in the prestigious German Football League (GFL). Known by the moniker “Dre,” this dynamic American quarterback has quickly established himself as a dominant dual-threat playmaker, a talent the Wilddogs secured after he previously “struck fear” in them during his time with the Regensburg Phoenix in the GFL2. Praised by opposing coaches for his athleticism, running ability, and his aptitude for delivering accurate passes even under pressure, Harris is instrumental in Pforzheim’s ability to rack up high passing yardage and transform precarious situations into significant gains. His versatility makes him a constant threat to opposing defenses and a central figure in the Wilddogs’ strong start in the GFL.
