How old were you when you started playing tennis? Did you play anything else growing up?
I was about eight years old when I picked up a racket. I played basketball and baseball but nothing too serious.
What is a typical pre match meal?
Chick-Fil-A and if it is Sunday then Jimmy Johns
What does a typical day of practice look like for you?
We start out stretching and then we hit down the middle for about 15 minutes to get warm. After we do that then we go into some drills, either fed ball or with another player. After practice we do suicides on the court if it wasn't a workout day.
Who is your favorite professional tennis player?
Taylor Fritz
What is your preferred surface to play on? Why?
Outdoor hard court because it is fast pace but not as fast as indoor and it suits my game.
What sport related accomplishment you are most proud of?
Winning the state tournament in high school was the best result I have had up until college tennis.
Message from Harrison:
"I have had the best two years of my life playing for this program. Part of what makes Samford so special is how great our facilities are. We have some of the best in the SoCon and it shows. Our indoor practice facility and the Pete Hanna make my experience worthwhile. Without our donors this wouldn't be possible. Thank you for making my Samford tennis experience so special. Hope to see you all at a match in the spring. Go Dogs!"
