Treon Harris in Tampa
QB Treon Harris' time at Florida ended poorly; he lost his final three starts in 2015, then was indefinitely suspended by the school before deciding to transfer. But he appears to be making the most of his second chance at Tennessee State, which plays Florida A&M in the Tampa Classic at Raymond James Stadium. Harris helped knock off Division I-A opponent Georgia State in the opener, and his rushing average (8.3 yards per attempt) ranks 12th in I-AA for the 2-0 Tigers.
