Former Major League Baseball outfielder Monte Harrison has transitioned to college football, now playing for the University of Arkansas. Harrison was originally acquired by the Milwaukee Brewers as part of the 2018 trade that sent Christian Yelich from the Miami Marlins to Milwaukee.
Harrison, who made his MLB debut with the Marlins in 2021, appeared in 50 games for Miami over two seasons, batting .176 with three home runs and 11 RBIs. The 2015 second-round draft pick was considered a top prospect in the Brewers organization before being designated for assignment in 2022.
The 28-year-old athlete has now joined the Arkansas Razorbacks football program, marking a rare cross-sport move from professional baseball to collegiate football. Details on his position and eligibility status with the SEC program were not immediately available.
