GENERAL: Harris has picked up where previous record-setting quarterbacks left off, guiding the Buffs to a fifth-consecutive winning season and enters his senior season standing sixth on both the WT career passing and total offense charts. Over his 30-game career, he has completed 424-of-655 passes for 4,993 yards, 32 TDs and 15 interceptions.
2009: Over the course of the 2009 season, Harris threw for 3,738 passing yards, and in the process, became just the seventh player in WT history to top 4,000 yards for his career. Standing second among LSC passing leaders (311.5 ypg.), Harris completed 65.3 percent of his attempts (308-of-472) for 3,738 yards, with 22 TDs and 12 interceptions. In WT’s regular-season finale at #7-Tarleton State, Harris passed for a career-high 536 yards and four TDs. In the process, he completed his first 17 passing attempts and finished the game 31-of-37 for four TDs. One week earlier, at Northeastern State, he completed 19-of-25 passes for 262 yards and three TD’s at Northeastern State - in just the first half (he was lifted at halftime with the Buffs leading, 42-10). Against Angelo State, he completed 30-of-39 passes (his second-consecutive week without an interception), for a career-high 414 yards. That marked his second career 400+passing yard outing, as he had one in 2007. One week earlier, he passed for 358 yards, completing 34-of-48 and two TDs (without an interception) at #1-Abilene Christian. That followed a 371-yard passing game against Eastern New Mexico.
2008: Harris saw action in eight contests, completing 33-of-55 passes for 298 yards and three TDs without allowing an interception. He completed 8-of-14 passes for 81 yards and 1 TD in WT’s 49-18 win at Central Oklahoma, and also completed eight passes (out of 13 attempts) for 53 yards against Northeastern State. He went 6-for-7 for 57 yards and a TD at Angelo State and was 6-for-7 for 68 yards and a TD against Tarleton State.
2007: While generally assuming a back-up role, Harris
proved his worth midway through the 2007 season when starting quarterback, Keith Null, went down with injury. During that time, he made two starting appearances and, in that role, he led the Buffaloes to a pair of victories. He completed 24-of-35 passes with four TDs in WT’s 38-17 victory over Angelo State and followed with a 30-of-50 performance for 401 yards and three TDs in the Buffs’ 31-0 shutout of Central Oklahoma. For the year, the North Texas product completed 83-of-128 passes for 957 yards and eight TDs, while only being intercepted three times. His season-long completion was a 57-yard TD strike to Charly Martin against Angelo State.
2006: Redshirt season.
