IN HIS OWN WORDS
"Virginia was the school for me because it's a family there," Harrison said. "They started the whole recruiting process for me and brought me up on my official visit. It was a great time with great people and great vibes. It felt right. It was like a home away from home and Virginia is a great place.
"I'm glad coach Elliott and the coaching staff are giving me a shot," he said. "Our relationship is strong. It started in the spring and we bonded really well. We've been talking every day when they can.
"They want me as a receiver," said Harrison. "I think I fit in really well. Coach Kitchings has been talking about moving me around a lot and putting me at different positions to get me the ball and let me make plays using my abilities.
"Coach Elliott has a mission and I believe in it and what he has going on," he said. "I want to be a part of what he has going on."
RIVALS REACTION
Harrison is electric with the ball in his hands and the Virginia staff is planning on playing him on offense to start off his career. He isn't the biggest player but Harrison is tough and elusive in the open field. He played mostly quarterback this year so there will be an adjustment to playing receiver at the next level but expect the UVA coaching staff to work on finding ways to get the ball into his hands while he is in space.
