Sherrod Harris - the anti-Perriloux?

Todd Willis of the Dallas Morning News has a column up today (registration required) about Sherrod Harris, a QB out of Arlington Bowie HS, who has orally committed to play college ball at Texas. According to the article, Harris threw for 677 less yards last year (his junior season) than he did his sophomore season while "leading" his team to a 1-9 record. Most interestingly, Harris is allegedly a cerebral QB with 3.9 GPA and 1310 SAT score.

Mack would be smart to lock up a mature, capable QB if he wants to avoid the picketing of his home when Colt McCoy is announced as the starter at the end of 2006 spring drills. I don't claim to know anything about Harris, but the irony of a football factory like UT locking up a brainy QB on an apparently terrible high school team is certainly worth mentioning.
