About Andrew Harris

Andrew was born in Winnipeg Manitoba. Attended Grant Park and Oak Park High Schools before joining the Vancouver Island Raiders of the Canadian Junior Football League. During his junior career, he led the Raiders to three national championships (2006, 2008, and 2009) and broke a number of British Columbia conference and CJFL records, including all-time touchdowns and scoring. In 2009, he was awarded the Wally Buono Award for most outstanding junior football player in Canada. Wally was quick to claim Andrew as a territory exemption for the B.C. Lions. He somehow played for both the Raiders and was on the practice roster of the Lions in 2009. His role with the Lions increased from special teams to running back. In 2011 Harris saw his role expand and he took over as the starting running back mid-season, finishing with 853 total yards and eight touchdowns. In the playoffs, Harris was named the Canadian player of the week in a Lions' win over the Edmonton Eskimos in the West Division Final. A week later, Harris was named the Most Outstanding Canadian at the Grey Cup, scoring a touchdown and rushing for 65 yards over 10 carries Lions 34–23 over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
