FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) – Arkansas has confirmed a report that former major leaguer Monte Harrison, a 28-year-old outfielder who played parts of three seasons with the Angels and Marlins, plans to continue with the Razorbacks’ football program.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette first reported Tuesday that Harrison committed to the school. An Arkansas football spokesman told The Associated Press via text that he will walk on with the Southeastern Conference school.

Harrison was a four-star football recruit in 2014 out of Lee’s Summit (Missouri) West High School, the Democrat-Gazette reported. He caught 60 passes for 1,007 yards and had 13 touchdowns rushing for 198 yards. According to the newspaper, he has committed to play football and baseball at Nebraska.

The second round draft pick by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2014 Major League amateur draft played 10 seasons professionally with the first seven-plus years at various minor league levels before joining the Miami Marlins in 2020, batting .170 with a homer and three RBI in 32 games.

Harrison played nine more games with Miami between the minor leagues the following season, nine games with the Los Angeles Angels in 2022, and 88 with Nashville in the Class AAA International League.

Harrison hit .240 with 90 homers, 336 RBI, and 210 stolen bases in the minors and .177 with two homers and six RBI in the majors.
