Former MLB Player Monte Harrison Commits to Play Football at Arkansas - A True Two-Sport Athlete
Monte Harrison, a former MLB player, is embarking on a new journey to achieve gridiron glory. Despite his baseball background, he has committed to playing wide receiver at Arkansas as a freshman walk-on.
Harrison was a standout two-sport athlete in high school, initially committing to play football at Nebraska before being drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the second round of the 2014 MLB draft. He later found himself traded to the Miami Marlins as part of a major deal involving Christian Yelich.
After brief stints in the MLB with limited playing time and performance, Harrison returned to the Brewers in 2023 before ultimately deciding to pursue football as his best option.
As a highly rated high school senior, Harrison was recognized for his skills on the gridiron, showcasing his talents with impressive stats in his final prep season.
This unique and compelling story of transition from baseball to football draws parallels to legendary athletes like Bo Jackson and intriguing personalities like Van Wilder.
