Monte Harrison, a former Major League Baseball player, will showcase a new set of skills next season when he suits up for the Arkansas football team.
Harrison, who last played in the major leagues with the Los Angeles Angels in 2022, plans to return to the NCAA, where he will walk on the Arkansas football team as a wide receiver.
The 28-year-old ex-MLB player was a four-star football recruit out of Lee’s Summit West High School in Missouri more than a decade ago. He committed to Nebraska to play football and baseball, but was drafted in 2014 by the Milwaukee Brewers.
Harrison played in the minors for years but made his MLB debut with the Miami Marlins in 2020.
