Welcome to the Wheeling Miners, Major Harris!
We are proud to announce that a West Virginia legend is becoming part of our ownership group as well as our coaching staff. His experience and guidance for our young players will be invaluable to their further development and success here in Wheeling.
Major, one of the most electrifying quarterbacks in college football history while at West Virginia in the late 1980s, earned first-team All-American honors in 1989 and finished fifth and third in Heisman Trophy voting in 1988 and in 1989. Harris was named ECAC Player of the Year in both seasons, and his impact on the game was cemented with his induction into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2009.
Major’s legacy of excellence, leadership, and competitive spirit aligns perfectly with the values of the Wheeling Miners. We are honored to have him as part of our organization and look forward to the inspiration, on-field innovation, and championship mindset he will bring to our organization and community.
Welcome to Wheeling, Major! Most importantly, welcome back to West Virginia!
