Chalk this one up to Willie Taggart’s cross-country recruiting chops. Harrison was originally committed to Oregon, but Taggart was sure to offer the young athlete as soon as he made the move to Tallahassee. Harrison followed suit, and committed to FSU shortly after.

The Noles really got a gem here. He’s been timed as fast as 4.35 in the 40-yard dash, and has experience playing on both sides of the ball in high school. He’ll almost certainly be tasked with bolstering FSU’s receiving corps, and like Young, his skill set makes him a perfect fit for the new-look Noles offense. His straight-line speed is second to none.

Harrison was a four-star prospect and ranked as the second-best player in the state of Washington. Pulling him out of the Pacific Northwest was a major coup for the FSU staff, and they’ll be thrilled to use him early and often in 2018.
