At 5-9 and 175 pounds, Harvey is a consensus four-star prospect considered among the top defensive backs in the class in the state of Texas in a loaded 2014 class. He could play safety or cornerback at the next level, with 247Sports and Rivals listing him as a cornerback, though he plays safety for Lancaster on the defensive side of the ball.

Holding offers from Arkansas, Baylor, LSU, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas Tech, and Virginia, the high school playmaker who fills a variety of rolls for his high school team was highly coveted prior to making his decision.

That decision came as a bit of a surprise. Harvey has been one of the more quiet prospects in the 2014 class when it comes to recruiting, but had said within the last two weeks that he was "still open to everybody ($)" and wasn't planning on making a decision prior to his senior season.

It was not immediately clear what made Harvey change his mind, but he had taken an unofficial visit to College Station late in October.

Still early the process, the Aggies are already assembling an impressive recruiting class with the addition of Harvey, who joins Dallas (TX) Skyline cornerback Cedric Collins and Gilmer linebacker Josh Walker, serving notice to the Texas Longhorns that securing the top prospects in the state will no longer be as easy as it has been for some time, as both Harvey and Walker were Texas targets.

Another 2014 star, La Porte (TX) linebacker Hoza Scott, could also join the class in the near future with a December decision planned.
