WORCESTER, Mass. – Senior Deonte Harris (Middle River, Md. / Archbishop Curley) has been named a Second-Team All-American as all-purpose player by the American Football Coaches Association, as announced by the AFCA on Wednesday morning.
Harris earned Second-Team honors following a First-Team selection in 2017. He is one of four players to earn a repeat selection. He is one of two AFCA All-Americans in school history, joining Cole Tracy who was honored last year. Harris was also the only NE10 student-athlete to be honored by the AFCA.
This season, the wide receiver led the NE10 in kickoff (29.5) and punt (19.0) return average, while returning a pair of kicks for touchdowns, though teams actively kicked away from him.
