Jalen Harris’ longer-than-expected run at Arizona nearing end as final season opener looms

On Aug. 5, 2016, Jalen Harris made a decision that would change his life when he committed to play football at Arizona. He just had no idea how much of his life it would involve.

“I never expected I’d be here six years,” Harris said Tuesday, ahead of his sixth and final season opener with the Wildcats. “I thought I’d do my three or four years and I’d move on.”

The son of former UA linebacker Sean Harris, Jalen was 17 when he picked the Wildcats over the likes of Illinois, Notre Dame and Washington.
