George Washington coach Steve Finesilver says his linebacker Joe Harris can do it
all. Who are we to disagree? On the football field, Joe brings all
the measurables needed to get the job done. Harris stands 6-3, weighs 210
pounds, runs a 4.6 forty and has a thirty-three inch vertical jump. Joe also
competes on the George Washington basketball team and was the state champ in the
triple jump this past spring. All this tremendous athleticism transfers to the
field, where Harris will return as one of Colorado’s best outside backers. Offensively, Harris averaged eight yards
a carry on limited touches. In
regard to Harris’ ability on the field, coach Finesilver had this to say, “Joe
is the kind of kid that can play three or four positions on offense and four or
five on defense. He has vision when
he runs, he hits, he can do so many things, he is a complete
player.
Harris’
rare athletic gifts have drawn the attention of numerous top D1 programs. Harris holds offers from Colorado,
Colorado State and Wyoming. Louisville, Kansas State, Washington State amongst
others are courting Harris for his services. With Harris and a strong group of
returning players, Washington hopes to make some noise in 4A this
season.
