A 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) guard from Kansas City, Missouri, Harrison played college basketball at Tulsa, turing down an offer from Kansas to play football.[1] He was a four-year starter for the Golden Hurricane. As a senior, he was named American Athletic Conference Men’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year after averaging 14.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game while maintaining a 3.135 grade-point average. He is the only player in Tulsa history to register 1,300 points, 400 assists and 200 steals in his career.[2] However, he struggled with his shooting, hitting 19.5 percent of shots from behind the arc and 63 percent of his free throws.[1]

After going undrafted in the 2016 NBA draft, Harrison signed with the Phoenix Suns on September 25, 2016.[1][3] However, he was later waived by the Suns on October 10.[4] On October 31, 2016, he was acquired by the Northern Arizona Suns of the NBA Development League as an affiliate player of Phoenix.[5] In the team's season opener on November 12, 2016, Harrison scored an equal team-high 20 points in a 122–106 win over the Iowa Energy.[6]
