In Boston College’s 76-55 victory over Clemson in the second round of the ACC Tournament, Harris erupted for 27 points, drilling five of his 16 three-point attempts.

Harris also connected on four of 11 three-pointers against Virginia in their 66-60 OT loss to the Cavaliers in the ACC Tournament Quarterfinals. Mason Madsen drilled a jumper at the buzzer to force overtime in that game.

A highly explosive scorer at times, Harris had five games this year where he poured in more than 20 or more points. He exploded for a season-high 29 points in an 85-69 win over Lehigh.

Boston College had a bit of an up-and-down year, finishing 8-12 overall in the ACC, but finishing with a 20-16 overall record. They made it to the second round of NIT, where they fell to UNLV 79-70. Big man Quinten Post dropped 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the loss. In their 62-57 win over Providence in the first round of the NIT, Claudell Harris poured in 17 points, leading the team.

In high school, he starred for Hahnville High School (Louisiana). As a senior, he averaged nearly 21 points per game, earning first team All-State honors in 2021 from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. An explosive three-point shooter dating back to his high school days, Harris connected on 11 shots from beyond-the-arc in a single game. He also helped steer Hahnville to the Class 5A state semifinals as a junior and senior.
