the undersized, ultra-reliable QB who earned his keep at WVU
Markell Harrison was a 5-foot-8, 180-pound reserve quarterback at West Virginia who became a coaches’ trust player, not a stat-stuffer, and that matters because his value came from leadership, preparation, and doing the little things right. In the 2006 season, he completed all 3 of his passes for 20 yards and added 33 rushing yards and a touchdown, while WVU notes say he “does whatever the coaches ask of him” and he earned the program’s scout-team player of the year award. If your team wants a steady, selfless competitor with clear grit and football IQ, he fits the mold.
