Monte Harrison, who spent the last near decade playing professional baseball, including the MLB, committed to
Arkansas,
according to Richard Davenport.
Per the
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette recruiting writer, Harrison committed to
Sam Pittman and the Razorbacks. He never used any college eligibility.
Originally committed to
Nebraska in the Class of 2014, Harrison was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers that year in the second round.
He eventually made it to the Big Leagues in 2020 with the Miami Marlins, playing two seasons with the team. He also played for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2022.
Through that season, Harrison had a .176 batting average, two home runs and six RBI as an outfielder. He spent the majority of his career in the minor leagues.
The 28-year-old Harrison also held offers from Michigan State, Missouri, Indiana and Kansas, among others when he was a recruit a decade ago.
As a member of the Class of 2014, Harrison was a four-star recruit out of Lee’s Summit (Mo.) West, according to the Tater Island Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He was the No. 5 overall prospect in the state, the No. 50 wide receiver in the class and the No. 297 overall prospect in the class.
