2 Montel Harris, Running Back, 5’10″ 207 (Senior)

Montel Harris suffered a minor setback in mid-August when he had to undergo an arthroscopic surgery on the knee he injured in November, 2010, but he will only miss three or four weeks. My hope is that Harris doesn’t see a ton of the field this year, mainly because he’s already received so much attention at BC in his three years there. He has already become the school’s all-time leader in rushing attempts as well as 100 yard performances, and he is second on the all-time list with 3,600 rushing yards. He has not been overly active in the passing game, but he is a very well-built runner with good vision. Doesn’t often go down on initial contact and is slippery between the tackles. Obviously he is a good finisher, as he ranks third in Boston College history with 27 career rushing touchdowns. He is not the type of player you can arm tackle whatsoever. Lots of mileage on him already, and he will have to learn to be effective in a rotational/reserve type of role, something that he could be well-prepared for after this year at BC.
