Harrison commits to Rutgers
Bunnell receiver Mark Harrison has given a verbal commitment to attend Rutgers on a football scholarship, the all-SWC receiver confirmed Tuesday night.
“I’d watch them play on television and I thought this was the best place for me,” Harrison told the Connecticut Post in this article. “This was the school I wanted to go to. It was perfect.”
The 6-foot-5, 205-pound Harrison caught 42 passes for 880 yards and nine touchdowns while leading Bunnell to its second straight SWC and Class L state championships. Harrison was a Connecticut Post all-star in basketball, not football, during his junior season. But there was no doubt about his skill and athleticism, those who witnessed his 99-yard nullified-by-procedure-penalty finger-tip touchdown catch in the SWC title game can tell you that.
He made his decision after visiting the school over the weekend.
"“This means a lot,” Harrison said Tuesday night. “Now I can just focus on my grades and not all the recruiting process pressure any more. It was a lot of stress."
Now, I'll admit this isn't the best video, since I took it from across the field on Thanksgiving Day, but it's still cool (and you get the idea). For a complete run-down on Harrison's statistics, click his name in the first paragraph.
Update: Here's a post on YouTube of Harrison playing basketball. Obviously a much better production than my shoddy football vid up top.
Just to show you his nice ups, here's a nice dunk clip against Masuk.
