JT Giles Harris Bio
J.T. Giles‑Harris was the 2022 PLL Defensive Player of the Year, anchoring Chrome Lacrosse Club as a shutdown close defender. JT currently plays for the Denver Outlaws. He was selected 3rd overall in the 2021 PLL Draft and earned PLL All-Star honors in that debut season.
Before turning pro, J.T. carved out a standout career at Duke University, where he served as a two‑time team captain, became a three‑time All‑American (twice First Team), and received the 2021 William F. Schmeisser Award as the nation’s top defenseman. He also claimed ACC Defensive Player of the Year (2019), set Duke’s all-time record with 89 caused turnovers, and logged 147 career ground balls, alongside earning multiple academic honors.
In his rookie PLL season, J.T. finished with 11 caused turnovers, 24 ground balls, and helped Chrome’s defense reach #2 in settled set efficiency (10.2 GAA).
Off the field, J.T. has transitioned into coaching—first with Hampton University and now helping build Jacksonville’s defense. A native of Nyack, NY, and alumnus of St. Joseph Regional (NJ), he remains a powerful influence both on and off the field.
