George Rogers Clark senior Pokey Harris signs with Murray State

 

George Rogers Clark senior running back Pokey Harris signed a national letter-of-intent with Murray State Wednesday and will have a ceremonial signing at 2:15 p.m. Friday in the high school library.

 

Harris rushed for 1,940 yards and 20 touchdowns, the most among all Class 6A schools last season.

 

He earned third-team all-state honors from the Louisville Courier Journal and was an honorable mention all-state honoree by the Associated Press.

 

He also was named the District 8 6A Player of the Year by the Kentucky Football Coaches Association and played in the 2011 “Best of the Bluegrass” all-star game.

 

“We are real excited about this year’s signing class,” Murray State coach Chris Hatcher said. “We feel we were able to get the players that we were targeting and fill the needs we have heading into next season.

“This group has the potential to make an immediate impact as we push for a conference championship in 2012.”

Congrats to this fine young man. He got a lot of support from his former coach in making sure that all of his hard work was visible to college programs.

 

He will be a great addition to the Murry State Program.

Always gratifying to see local students do well and advance their careers.

Congratulations, I was very impressed with him when they played the Camels. He is a very good RB.
