Miami's Jacory Harris Earns Second ACC Weekly Honor

Sept. 21, 2009

Coral Gables, Fla. – Miami quarterback Jacory Harris has been selected one of five Atlantic Coast Conference football players of the week announced Monday by the ACC. It is Harris’ second of the season and fifth of his career.

For the second time in three weeks, Harris was selected as the ACC Offensive Back of the Week. Both of Harris’ selections in 2009 have come after performances in prime time games – after a 38-34 win at No. 18 Florida State (Sept. 5) and a stellar game in a 33-17 win against 14th-ranked Georgia Tech last Thursday night (Sept. 17) on ESPN. Harris helped Miami to its second straight conference win by completing 20-of-25 passes-a career-high 80.0 percent completion rate-for 270 yards, and three touchdowns. The sophomore signal caller completed a career-long 40-yard touchdown aerial to sophomore wide receiver LaRon Byrd in the opening quarter and has completed at least 20 passes in three straight games, dating back to last season’s finale.
