Los Angeles Thieves has announced the signing of Call of Duty player Jeremiah ‘Nium’ Harrison, adding the American talent to its roster ahead of the remainder of the 2026 Call of Duty League season.

The organisation confirmed the move in a post on X (formerly Twitter), with Harrison also sharing his own reaction to the signing.

“Beyond blessed to have this opportunity to play alongside the guys,” the player wrote following the announcement.

Nium has spent the majority of his career competing across the Call of Duty Challengers circuit in North America, while also making appearances at the highest level of competition. Most recently, Nium competed at the Call of Duty League 2026: Stage One Major, where his team finished in fifth to sixth place, earning $15,000 (~£11,800). The event was played on Black Ops 7 and marked his first Major appearance of the new season.

Nium’s arrival also coincided with the departure of Call of Duty player Kenny ‘Kuavo’ Williams, with Los Angeles Thieves acknowledging his time with the organisation in a farewell message.

“Thank you, Kuavo. You’ll forever be a part of our history, and we can’t thank you enough for everything that you’ve done with the LA Thieves. We’re looking forward to seeing what you do next,” the organisation said in a statement shared on social media.

From Challengers to Call of Duty League

Prior to joining Los Angeles Thieves, Nium was a regular presence in the Challengers ecosystem, featuring in multiple Elite, Cup and Open events throughout 2024 and 2025. His results included a first-place finish at the Call of Duty Challengers 2024 – Cup 10: NA and qualification through the North American Last Chance Qualifier in 2025.

Alongside his Challengers experience, Nium was also part of a Call of Duty League roster during the 2025 season. He recorded several deep runs across the year, including victories at the Stage Three and Stage Four Majors, as well as a first-place finish in the 2025 regular season standings.

However, the 2026 season has so far proven more challenging. At the Stage One Major, Nium’s team was eliminated with a 0–3 loss, while a subsequent fourth-place finish at the Call of Duty Challengers 2026 – Dallas Open saw him return briefly to tier-two competition.

The team will next be in action during the Call of Duty League 2026 season as it looks to improve on its Stage One performance and push further into the year’s Major events.

With the Black Ops 7 competitive calendar now fully underway, Nium’s move to Los Angeles Thieves represents another example of Challengers talent continuing to earn opportunities at the top level of Call of Duty esports.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
