Temple’s record-setting workhorse with elite production
Montel Harris was a bruising, high-volume Temple running back who combined power, durability, and big-play output; in 2011 he rushed for 1,278 yards and was honored as a first-team All-ACC back, and at Temple he delivered a school-record 351 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns in one game, showing rare ability to take over a matchup.[2][1] He’s the kind of back who fits a team that values tough inside running, ball security, and a proven workload. The concern is mileage and injury history, but when healthy he brought a relentless, no-nonsense style that could change a game fast.[4][3]
