Harrison

Lowe (5'9/185) transferred to Oregon State after spending two seasons at Washington, appearing in just two games as a Husky. As for Harrison (6'1/191), the Seattle native attended Florida State for two seasons before transferring back to the west coast. The junior wide receiver appeared in 24 games, catching 37 passes for 355 yards and two touchdowns. Both players will become eligible for competition on December 11, which is the final day of Oregon State’s fall quarter. That would satisfy the year in residency requirement, as both Lowe and Harrison joined the program in January.

Harrison (6'2/191) left FSU to return to the pacific northwest, as he attended Garfield High School in Seattle, Washington. The four-star prospect was rated as the seventh-best athlete and second ranked recruit in the state of Washington from the 2018 prep class. He reportedly had his waiver request denied back in late-October, but apparently had that initial finding overturned on appeal. Harrison will hope to suit up when Oregon State hosts Cal this Saturday.

Harrison’s name was added to the student directory about a week ago, with the 6-foot-2, 191-pound junior officially announcing his move to Corvallis on Thursday. He makes for a nice little addition to HC Jonathan Smith’s ongoing Oregon State rebuild. This past season, Harrison caught 27 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns. Mind-melting numbers? Not so much. But teams like Oregon State can build on the margins with established transfer gets such as this. Barring an eligibility waiver, Harrison will be required to sit out the 2020 season.

This isn’t an official transfer yet, but things are trending in that direction with the former four-star recruit. Harrison (6'2/191) logged a 27-289-2 receiving line this past season before hitting the transfer portal in mid-December.

With an entirely new staff coming in, it’s tough to blame kids for wanting out as uncertainty looms. Though new HC Mike Norvell is an offensive-minded coach, Harrison (and potentially others) may simply want out to seek a situation where they know they are part of the team’s plans and have a shot at playing. Harrison (6'2/191) caught 27 passes for 289 yards and two touchdowns in 2019. Harrison was also a four-star recruit in Florida State’s 2018 signing class.

Harrison was committed to Oregon early in the process, but decommitted from the Ducks after Willie Taggart left for Florida State. Now, the four-star athlete will visit Taggart and the Seminoles. Harrison is also still considering Oregon, and also has interest in Tennessee and Utah. He’ll announce his decision on signing day.

Harrison was a four-star recruit who had offers from several big-name schools, and while he did help last year, it was mostly as a “gimmick” play on plays like sweeps and dump-off passes; as Reed notes. At 6-foot-2, 191-pounds, he has the size to make plays downfield, and it seems he’s improving his ball skills and route-running. Don’t be surprised if Harrison is the breakout star for the Seminoles -- at least on the offensive side of the ball -- in 2019.

Keyshawn Helton was also named. Harrison (6'2/179) is currently listed as a wide receiver on the team’s website, but he entered college as an athlete with the expectation of becoming a receiver or running back. The former four-star is still facing an uphill battle to seeing much playing time as a freshman, but the early praise is good for his future.

Harrison was a four-star athlete who committed to the Seminoles over several big-name schools, and while he only caught 10 passes for 66 yards in his five games, the talent for the 6-foot-2, 179-pound wideout was apparent. “Now, as a sophomore, Harrison’s role is expected to expand as playing time is available following the departure of senior receiver Nyqwan Murray,” writes Sonnone. “With the ability to play outside or in the slot, Harrison’s combination of grace and deep speed figures to be utilized far more often under new offensive coordinator Kendal Briles.” The quarterback play is going to have to be there for this to happen, but we’re excited to see what Harrison can do in his second year on campus.

Harrison picks the Seminoles over Oregon, and also had offers from Tennessee, Utah, Michigan and several other big-name schools. He was previously a strong lean towards Oregon, but when Willie Taggart left for Florida State, Harrison followed. He’s considered one of the top athletes in the class, and he could help the Seminoles on offense as a wide receiver or running back, or on defense as a corner. He’ll likely be on the offensive side of the football because of his speed and athleticm.
