Harris was a standout shortstop at Lewiston High and then for the Warriors during 1984-87. His name is dotted throughout the Warriors' record book. He is the all-time leader in runs scored and walks, second in doubles, third in hits and games played, fourth in total bases, eighth in singles, and 10th in RBI. He holds the program's single-season record in runs scored at 131 (next highest is 102) and has the record for most consecutive games scoring at least one run at 21. Defensively, twice he won the Warriors' Golden Glove Award.
 
He was drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 16th round of the 1986 draft, but chose to remain at LC. After a stellar senior season when he earned NAIA First-Team All-American honors, he was selected by Houston in the 13th round of the 1987 draft and signed. He played six seasons in the Astros' minor league system, reaching the AAA level where he hit .294 with Tucson. Harris and his family currently reside in Brandon, Miss.
