Montclair quarterback Andrew Harrison has decided on a college

It was a strange season for Montclair High School quarterback Andrew Harrison but there is a happy ending as he has landed an opportunity to play in college.

Harrison plans to sign with the University of La Verne on Thursday.

He started his high school career at Upland but transferred to Bonita before this school year started. He was ruled ineligible by the CIF, and then transferred to Montclair. He had to sit out five games so his season was limited to the Cavaliers five Mt. Baldy League games.

In those five games Harrison completed 89 for 161 passes for 1,098 yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions.

Harrison said the multiple transfers and not getting to play half the season hurt his recruiting chances but he has tried to stay grounded and welcomes the chance he does have.

He credits his parents for helping him keep things in perspective.

“It was difficult but I knew something would come along,” he said. “You can’t worry about what happened in the past. I am happy for this opportunity.”

Harrison was also considering some other small coaches such as NAIA Sterling (Kan.) and NCAA Division III’s St. Norbert’s (Wis.), Trinity (Conn.) and University of Northwestern-St. Paul.

He was happy with the opportunity to play close to home.

“I really liked the coaching staff,” he said. “I have been over there a few times and had a chance to sit down and talk to them and I felt like it would be good fit for me.”
