Carmelo Harris

Attended McClymonds High School in Oakland, California ... Competed in football, wrestling, track and swimming at McClymonds and also played club lacrosse ... Served as the Team Captain and Special Teams Captain of the football team ... Named the Wrestling Team MVP ... Became the first competitive boys swimmer at his HS in 28 years ... Member of the Honor Roll all four years ... Completed the Kingsmakers of Oakland leadership program ... Took part in the SAFRI Youth Firefighter Academy ... His uncle played football at Boise State University (NCAA DI) and went on to play in the NFL. Why Lewis & Clark?: I chose Lewis & Clark because it offers the right balance of strong academics, a supportive learning environment, and a football program where I can grow as a leader. The small class sizes, committed coaching staff, and opportunities for immediate impact made it the ideal place for me to develop as both a student and an athlete while preparing for a future career in firefighting.
