Harris Honored On National Stage


(Victor Harris makes an interception in a scrimmage. Harris was chosen as a Preseason All American prior to the season kickoff)
Shutdown cornerback Victor Harris was honored earlier, as college football elites selected Harris to be a first team Preseason All American. Harris, who came in as a four star recruit in 2005, has shown the college football minds that he is worthy of being among the elite. Harris is coming off a season in which he posted 36 total tackles and 5 interceptions, one of which he brought back to the house. Harris surely looks to one up those numbers in a successful campaign this year. Also named to the first&second teams were the following.
