[edit | edit source]Harrell saw limited action and redshirted his true freshman year in 2022.
2023
[edit | edit source]In 2023, Harrell appeared in five games and made his first collegiate start against West Virginia in the Duke's Mayo Bowl, where the Tar Heels lost 30-10.[4][5][6]
2024
[edit | edit source]With Drake Maye leaving for the NFL, Harrell competed with Max Johnson for the starting quarterback job throughout spring practices and fall training camp.[7] Johnson won the starting job, but suffered a season-ending leg injury in the opening game of the season against Minnesota.,[8] Harrell completed two of the four passes he threw in relief of Johnson for 34 yards, as the Tar Heels beat the Golden Gophers 19-17.[9] The following week, Harrell made the second start of his career against Charlotte, completing 16 of 25 passes for 219 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception en route to a 38-20 victory.[10] Harrell made another start the following week against NCCU, but only completed two of the six passes he threw for 22 yards while splitting time with Jacolby Criswell in the game.[11]
The next week, Harrell was benched in favor of Criswell, who started the Tar Heels' 70-50 loss to James Madison. Harrell came in for a play after Criswell's helmet came off, and lost a fumble in his only snap.[12] He did not play in Carolina's loss to rivals Duke the following week, as Criswell solidified his position as Tar Heel quarterback. Harrell's next action came in the loss against Georgia Tech, where he completed one of two passes thrown for seven yards.[13] Harrell next appeared in the Tar Heels' win against FSU, rushing once for sixteen yards in garbage time duty.
Harrell entered into the transfer portal following the conclusion of the regular season.[14]
Charlotte
[edit | edit source]On January 5, 2025, Harrell announced that he would transfer to Charlotte.[15]
