He played [college football](/source/college_football) at [Texas A&M](/source/Texas_A%26M_Aggies_football), and was drafted by the [New York Jets](/source/New_York_Jets) in the fifth round in the [2015 NFL draft](/source/2015_NFL_draft). ==Early life== A native of [Navasota, Texas](/source/Navasota%2C_Texas), Harrison attended [Navasota High School](/source/Navasota_High_School), where played just two seasons of [football](/source/high_school_football) for the Rattlers. In his junior year, Harrison helped Navasota to a 10–1 record and a berth to the [UIL](/source/University_Interscholastic_League) Region III-3A Division I final, which the Rattlers lost 28–34 in overtime to [La Vega](/source/La_Vega_High_School).{{Cite web |last=McDaniel |first=Jason |date=November 28, 2008 |title=Navasota falls to Waco La Vega in OT 34–28 |url=http://www.chron.com/sports/high-school/article/Navasota-falls-to-Waco-La-Vega-in-OT-34-28-1594275.php |access-date=2022-02-08 |website=[Houston Chronicle](/source/Houston_Chronicle)}} Harrison received little attention as a football recruit, being rated only a two-star prospect by [Rivals.com](/source/Rivals.com).{{Cite web |title=Jarvis Harrison Recruiting Profile |url=https://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Jarvis-Harrison-92342 |website=Rivals.com}} Harrison had offers from [Baylor](/source/Baylor_Bears_football) and [Southern Miss](/source/Southern_Miss_Golden_Eagles_football), but decided to hold out for an offer from [Texas A&M](/source/Texas_A%26M_Aggies_football), which came about two weeks after [National Signing Day](/source/National_Signing_Day). ==College career== After [redshirting](/source/Redshirt_(college_sports)) his initial year at Texas A&M, Harrison served as the top backup on the offensive line for the Aggies. He saw action in 11 games of the [2011 season](/source/2011_Texas_A%26M_Aggies_football_team), and started four games in October against [Texas Tech](/source/2011_Texas_Tech_Red_Raiders_football_team), [Baylor](/source/2011_Baylor_Bears_football_team), [Iowa State](/source/2011_Iowa_State_Cyclones_football_team), and [Missouri](/source/2011_Missouri_Tigers_football_team), replacing the injured [Cedric Ogbuehi](/source/Cedric_Ogbuehi) at [right guard](/source/right_guard). Harrison got another start against [Northwestern](/source/2011_Northwestern_Wildcats_football_team) in the [Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas](/source/2011_Meineke_Car_Care_Bowl_of_Texas) at left guard in place of the injured Brian Thomas. As a sophomore, Harrison started all 13 games at guard. As part of an offensive line that also featured Ogbuehi, [Luke Joeckel](/source/Luke_Joeckel), and [Jake Matthews](/source/Jake_Matthews_(American_football)), Harrison helped the Aggies to lead the [Southeastern Conference](/source/Southeastern_Conference) (SEC) in all rushing, passing, scoring and total offense. Quarterback [Johnny Manziel](/source/Johnny_Manziel) won the [Heisman Trophy](/source/Heisman_Trophy) after the season. In his junior season, Harrison remained a cornerstone on the offensive line, starting all 13 games. The [2013 Aggies](/source/2013_Texas_A%26M_Aggies_football_team) were one of only three teams to rank in the top 10 nationally in scoring, passing and total offense. Harrison injured his calf in the [Chick-fil-A Bowl](/source/2013_Chick-fil-A_Bowl) against [Duke](/source/2013_Duke_Blue_Devils_football_team), and also underwent surgery to repair torn [labrum](/source/Glenoid_labrum) in his right shoulder in January 2014.{{Cite web |last=Smtih |first=Christopher |date=September 10, 2014 |title=LG Jarvis Harrison set to return for A&M |url=http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/tamu-football/harrison-could-return-for-tamu/ |access-date=2025-07-04 |website=Saturday Down South}} He missed the first two games of the [2014 season](/source/2014_Texas_A%26M_Aggies_football_team) due to slow recovery from this surgery, but eventually played in the final ten games and re-earned his starting spot for the last seven. Harrison made five starts at his usual left guard spot, but was moved outside to left tackle against [Auburn](/source/2014_Auburn_Tigers_football_team) and [Missouri](/source/2014_Missouri_Tigers_football_team) to replace an injured [Germain Ifedi](/source/Germain_Ifedi).{{Cite web |last=Erickson |first=Joel A. |date=2014-11-06 |title=Texas A&M loses starting tackle to knee injury, leading tackler in doubt |url=https://www.al.com/auburnfootball/2014/11/texas_am_loses_starting_tackle.html |access-date=2024-01-09 |website=AL.com |language=en}} Providing protection for quarterbacks [Kenny Hill](/source/Kenny_Hill_(quarterback)) and [Kyle Allen](/source/Kyle_Allen_(American_football)), the offensive line helped turn the Aggies into the SEC's top passing attack, which led the conference in passing yards and touchdowns. ==Professional career== ===New York Jets=== Harrison was drafted by the [New York Jets](/source/New_York_Jets) in the fifth round (152nd overall) of the [2015 NFL draft](/source/2015_NFL_draft).{{Cite web |last=Lange, Randy |date=May 2, 2015 |title=Round 5 Jets Pick: Big Guard Jarvis Harrison |url=http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/article-9/Round-5-Jets-Pick-Big-Guard-Jarvis-Harrison/b5d1e853-b6d3-4890-bdbd-15012e8caad7 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150505081549/http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/article-9/Round-5-Jets-Pick-Big-Guard-Jarvis-Harrison/b5d1e853-b6d3-4890-bdbd-15012e8caad7 |archive-date=May 5, 2015 |access-date=May 9, 2015 |publisher=New York Jets}} He signed a four-year, $2.5 million contract on May 6, 2015.{{Cite web |last=Cosentino, Dom |date=May 6, 2015 |title=Jets sign fifth-round draft pick Jarvis Harrison |url=http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2015/05/jets_sign_fifth-round_pick_jarvis_harrison.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150510021944/http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2015/05/jets_sign_fifth-round_pick_jarvis_harrison.html |archive-date=May 10, 2015 |access-date=May 9, 2015 |publisher=NJ.com}} He was waived on November 7, 2015, re-signed by the Jets and placed on their [practice squad](/source/practice_squad) on November 11.
