ECU senior running back and Military Bowl hero Rahjai Harris will meet fans and sign autographs at an event on Jan. 11 in Greenville.

Harris will be at Shimmer Boutique on Greenville Boulevard on Jan. 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. It was his 86-yard run for a touchdown with 1:33 to go – ECU’s longest play of the season — that sealed the Pirates’ 26-21 comeback win. Harris earned MVP honors in the game.

Harris finishes his career with 3,096 rushing yards, second in school history just ahead of Leonard Henry (3,089), and 29 touchdowns on the ground. He topped 1,000 yards for the season on Saturday, finishing the year with 1,166 yards on 206 carries and 11 touchdowns.
