Against Western Illinois (9/18/21), he racked up 529 yards on 10 kickoffs. Harrison was selected as a third team preseason All-America selection by Hero Sports.

He was also selected as the team’s special teams MVP for the second-straight season. He kicked a 55-yard field goal to match the third-longest in school history in EWU’s 62-10 win over Cal Poly (3/27/21). It was the longest by an Eagle in more than 14 years, and helped EWU set a school record as a member of FCS for points in the first half with 45 (the previous record was 41). Later in the game he also kicked a 47-yarder which now equals the 33rd longest, and he also had a 50-yarder at Idaho State (3/13/21). He also made all eight of his extra point attempts and averaged 60.0 yards per kickoff versus Cal Poly with one touchback. For the season, he was 6-of-9 kicking field goals, 25-of-27 on extra points and averaged 59.9 per kickoff (two touchbacks). He made his only field goal attempt and all five of his extra points against Idaho (4/10/21) in swirling 25 mile-per-hour winds at Roos Field in Cheney. His 2020-21 debut at Idaho on Feb. 27 had an odd twist. After his first career miss on a 50-yarder in the second quarter, he attempted a 24-yarder in the fourth quarter with the game tied at 21-all with 11:01 left. His kick was ruled as a miss, but was so high it appeared to hit the scoreboard as opposed to the upright. It was reviewed, however, there was no video proof at the time to overturn the play. The next day (Feb. 28), the Big Sky issued an apology for the error, saying in a social media post “After watching additional video footage, it is evident that the official incorrectly ruled it as a missed field goal. The Big Sky acknowledges and regrets this error in officiating.” Phil Steele Publications selected him to its preseason All-Big Sky Conference squad as a third team kicker.

He ended the season first FCS in field goal percentage, with a perfect 12-of-12 performance. He was the only kicker in FCS with at least one field goal attempt per game to make all of his field goals in 2019, and he ranked 30th in field goals overall with an average of 1.09 per game. Harrison was 50-of-53 on extra points in 2019, having a string of 22-straight makes from Oct. 5 until missing his first attempt at Cal Poly (11/16/19). His average of 7.8 points per game (86 total in 11 games) was second in the Big Sky as he was the only freshman ranked in the top 10. He also averaged 52.9 yards on 78 kickoffs (six touchbacks). Harrison garnered Big Sky Conference Special Teams Player of the Week honors from the league after converting all nine of his extra point attempts and booting a 27-yard field goal in a 66-38 win over Northern Arizona (11/2/19). He also had 10 kickoffs for a 50.8 average versus the Lumberjacks with one touchback. Twice he kicked four field goals in a single game, including against Northern Colorado (10/12/19) when he made field goals of 32, 21, 21 and 23 yards. He made all six of his extra points to finish with 18 points in Eastern’s 54-21 romp, and also had 10 kickoffs for a 52.9 average. In a 48-5 victory over Idaho State (11/9/19), he had makes of 40, 36, 21 and 36. His 40-yarder was a career long as he earned EWU’s special teams player of the week honor. In both of those games, all of his field goals came in the first half as he came one kick away from the school record of five. Harrison had a field goal of 35 yards versus Montana (10/26/19). In his first action as the No. 1 kicker versus Jacksonville State (9/14/19), Harrison made a 22-yard field goal, converted all six of his extra points, had eight kickoffs for a 58.1 average with two touchbacks and even recovered a fumble that led to an EWU touchdown. Harrison didn’t even start out the year as EWU’s kicker. That role fell to junior Andre Slyter, whose first field goal made in his EWU career turned out to be the longest in 11 years for the Eagles versus Lindenwood (9/7/19). But he was injured and missed the rest of the season. Harrison and Slyter replaced EWU career and single season kick scoring leader Roldan Alcobendas, who was a perfect 16-of-16 kicking field goals in 2018 to win the Fred Mitchell Award as the top placekicker in the nation (all levels but FBS). Thus, EWU is 28-of-30 in the last two years, with the lone misses by Slyter early in the 2019 season.
