Utah State head basketball coach Stew Morrill announces fall signing class

“Marcel is a pure point guard with lots of abilities,” said Morrill. “We know he will adapt quickly to our system and we expect big contributions from him right away. Marcel loves the game and he works hard at improving his skills and his body. He will be a player Aggie fans get excited about.”

Harris, a 6-7, 220-pound forward, is currently a sophomore at Yuba (Calif.) College. As a freshman at Yuba College during the 2008-09 season, Harris averaged 14.9 points and 11.7 rebounds per game and was the runner-up for the Bay Valley Conference Player of the Year as the 49’rs went 32-4 and won the Bay Valley Conference Championship. Following his freshman season at Yuba College, Harris served a two-year LDS Church mission in Honduras.

Harris prepped at Rocklin (Calif.) High School and was named the MVP of the SFL Conference his senior year along with earning first-team all-Metro honors. As a prep senior, Harris averaged 16.6 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.6 steals and 2.0 blocks per game.

“Sean was a very important addition in that we lose two senior big guys,” said Morrill. “He is a quality basketball player that gives maximum effort and a very good athlete who has an excellent skill set. We expect Sean to step in and be another in a long line of quality big men we’ve had at Utah State.”

Doug Hoffman is the assistant athletic director for Utah State University.
