Harrison was widely regarded as a top five player in the class of 2013 with Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Julius Randle, and twin brother Andrew. On March 9, 2013, Harrison and his brother, Andrew, helped the Fort Bend Travis Tigers to defeat South Grand Prairie, 46–38 at the Frank Erwin Center on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin to win the Class 5A state title in Texas. They finished #16 in the final ESPN 25 Power Rankings. Fort Bend Travis had lost in the Class 5A state title game the year before to Flower Mound Marcus.[6][7] He also was the Guy V. Lewis Award winner in 2013.[8]

College career

Harrison started at shooting guard in all 40 games for the University of Kentucky during the 2013–14 season, averaging 13.7 points with 42.3% shooting, 35.6% 3-point shooting, and 79% free throw shooting. He scored a career-high 28 points against Robert Morris on November 17, 2013, all while shooting a perfect 10-of-10 from the free throw line. On March 30, 2014, Harrison hit a game-winning three-point field goal versus Michigan in the regional finals of the 2014 NCAA Men's Division I basketball tournament.

He finished the game with 8 points, all coming in the second half.
