Harrison is the type of player every coach wants on the floor: tough, smart, unselfish, and relentless on both ends. He’s a consistent knockdown shooter who thrives off the ball screen, reading defenses and dissecting them like a master surgeon with a calm, deliberate flow. Whether pulling up from three, attacking the lane, or delivering an extra pass to get a teammate a better shot, Harrison plays with intention and IQ. But where he’s really started to separate himself is on the defensive end. What once was a weakness has become a true point of pride. He’s scrappy, vocal, and fearless, diving on the floor for loose balls, challenging every possession, and making winning plays that don’t always show up in a box score.

This season, Harrison averaged 11.6 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game. That balance shows how much his game has matured. Earlier in his career, he was all about scoring, but a hard conversation with his coach flipped the switch. The message was scoring is great, but defense will get you on the floor and keep you there. That moment became the driving force for his biggest improvement, and now he plays with a chip, constantly hounding opponents, communicating with teammates, and bringing gritty energy to every matchup. It’s a transformation he’s proud of and one that has reshaped his entire outlook.

This offseason, he’s focused on tightening his handle and becoming more explosive off the bounce, adding tools that will help him create better opportunities for himself and his team. He’s also working to become even more vocal on defense, knowing that communication can elevate an entire unit. Harrison is playing the Tennessee Tigers 15U this AAU season and has his eyes set on major tournaments like the HoopSeen Best of the South and Phenom Summer Havoc Live. With each game, he’s gaining confidence, sharpening his identity, and learning to lead.

Looking ahead to next season, Harrison is eager to embrace his varsity role and compete in high-energy environments. What fires him up most is when the atmosphere is electric, crowds roaring, benches jumping, or even the other team talking. That noise, that pressure, that’s what brings out his best. And when facing adversity, he falls back on the words that changed his game: defense earns trust. That has become his foundation, and it's showing in everything he does.

Harrison brings elite shooting, sharp decision-making, and now a growing reputation as a two-way player who sets the tone. His ability to create, defend, and lead with energy makes him a foundational piece at Franklin and a name to watch.

As his explosiveness and handle continue to evolve, Harrison’s ceiling keeps rising. He’s proving he’s more than a scorer but a competitor with leadership instincts and the will to impact every possession. Expect him to make a real impact as he steps onto the varsity stage next season. Stay tuned.
