Harris on his commitment to Virginia
“I mean, who wouldn’t want to play for Virginia? It’s one of the best programs in the country,” Harris said. “They have guys get drafted almost every year, a place I eventually want to get to. Coach (Tony) Bennett is a great coach and one of the best in the business. He says he runs his program through God’s word, which is very big for me. I’m huge on the scripture and to have a coach that runs his program through the Lord. What else can you ask for?”
