Shannon Harris brings championship-caliber quarterback development to Tennessee State
Shannon Harris is Tennessee State’s co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, and his strongest calling card is quarterback development: in 2025, he helped guide the D.C. Defenders to the UFL championship, with QB Jordan Ta’amu thriving in his system. At TSU, Harris adds proven program familiarity, leadership, and a high-energy, player-first style shaped by his own standout Tigers career—he posted 3,137 yards of total offense in the 2001 season, still among the best marks in school history. If you value polish, confidence, and a coach who has won at the championship level, Harris is a fit.
