Central's Harris Orally Committs to Florida A and M

Central running back DuJuan Harris apparently liked his visit to Florida A and M's Tallahassee campus this weekend. According to Bears coach Cliff Lohrey, the running back called FAMU coaches last night to offer his oral committment. Harris was offered a scholarship during his recruiting weekend. Lohrey says FAMU told him Harris was their No. 2 overall recruit on their board.

A 5-foot-8, 185-pound running back, Harris is a Top 10 state sprinter and a shifty runner who gained more than 1,700 yards this season. He ran for over 200 yards in the Bears' heartbreaking playoff loss to Daytona Beach Seabreeze, when Central came within a last-second touchdown of upsetting the state-ranked Snow Crabs.

We're meeting with Harris today after school, so stay tuned to tomorrow's paper to find out what he thought of FAMU.
