“Recruiting is going great,” Mark Harris, Will Harris’ dad said. “It has been very busy around here.”

“Will has received calls from everyone,” Harris said. “The whole Pac-10 has already called.”

“Florida State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Pitt, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and K State are just a few of the schools I can remember off the top of my head,” Harris said. “K State said that they are recruiting Will as an athlete.”

“K State said Will could play either wide receiver or safety,” Harris said. “Colorado sends mail constantly.”
