"Harris, a senior wide receiver, said he freely chose a rap career over football. A Michigan State spokesman said it was “a mutual decision.â€
“I’ve always had this in the back of my head, but never had the courage to tell my parents that this is what I want to do,†Harris said.
The 5-foot-11, 162-pounder is ranked by ESPN as the state’s 17th-ranked senior and second-best wideout. He scored 13 touchdowns last season on 54 catches for 792 yards. He signed a binding letter of intent in February to attend Michigan State.
Harris said he decided to forego football about a week before the video debuted. He knew people would watch it, Harris said, but not so many in such a short time.
An album is slated for a June 1 release, and Harris said he plans to work with professional producer M. Stacks this summer." - Philly News
