Former Cowboy Harris remaining honored.

WR Marcus Harris is on the College Hall of Fame ballot once again. He had a stellar career at Wyoming, amassing 4,518 career receiving yards, which was the most when he graduated and is still the 5th most of all-time. Harris was an all-American twice and in 1996 was the Biletnikoff award winner, which goes to the nation’s top wide receiver. He states he doesn’t get his hopes up of being one of the final 12 elected among the 75 nominees but appreciates being nominated for the third time.
