Harrison is an explosive combo guard built to thrill and dominate. A true walking bucket, he blends athleticism, flair, and ferocity into every possession. He can light it up from deep with a silky smooth touch, but it’s when he’s attacking off the bounce that the real fireworks go off. His electric first step and fierce finishes make him a constant threat at the rim, and he’s not shy about rising up for highlight dunks that ignite the gym. Harrison is relentless on the glass, a high-flyer who skies in for rebounds and brings the same fire on defense. With his quickness, length, and court vision, he creates mismatches all over the floor and never stops bringing the energy. Coaches can count on a fierce competitor who shows up with intensity and plays like every possession matters.
After a monster junior season where he averaged 23 points per game, Harrison poured in 484 total points on a jaw-dropping 70% from the field and a blistering 58% from three. He added 8.7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1 block per game while helping lead Spring Valley to a historic state semifinal appearance, the first in school history. His growth in leadership and confidence matched his improvement in production. Named First Team All-State, Harrison is still far from satisfied. He’s focused on becoming even more explosive, extending his range, and adding new weapons to his offensive package by mastering all three levels of scoring. His offseason grind includes locking in on perimeter shooting and defending bigger players to expand his versatility.
This summer, he’s playing with Expressions Prep and heading into battle at the Atlantic City Jam Fest, Live Summer Jam Fest/HGSL Championship, and Nike Summer Championship, ready to turn heads and elevate his name. His goals for next season are to lead his squad back to the state tournament and get that chip. What fuels his fire is the adrenaline rush of finishing through contact, hearing the crowd roar, and the love he has for the game that’s driven him since he was four years old. He stays grounded by trusting his preparation, knowing adversity is no match for his discipline and consistency.
Off the court, Harrison enjoys playing pickleball, hanging with friends and family, trout fishing, working out, spending time with his dogs, and, most importantly, going to church. He knows where his blessings come from and is thankful for the opportunities in front of him as he chases his dream of playing college basketball.
Harrison’s explosive athleticism, scoring versatility, and fearlessness make him a weapon for any college program. He can impact games immediately as a high-level scorer who also contributes on the glass and defends with length and quickness. His combination of flair and focus gives him a unique edge, he’s not just talented, he’s driven to lead and deliver wins.
As he continues to expand his range and evolve his defensive skill set, expect Harrison to become one of the most complete and dynamic guards in the region. With his work ethic, motor, and love for the game, he’s only scratching the surface of what he’s capable of, and his ceiling is sky-high. We can expect another monster season and likely another deep playoff run with a shot at one more historic mark for. Spring Valley, a state championship. Stay tuned.
