[edit] College career
Harrison played college football at Washington State University, where he transferred after two years at Pasadena City College. Although he played most of his junior year behind starter Chris Bruhn, he finished the last five games of the year with over 900 yards. His senior year saw greater playing time and great success. He broke the record for most consecutive games with 100 or more yards by a Pac-10 runner, with 16, and set the Cougar single-season rushing record with 1900 yards, which also led the NCAA Division I. He was a consensus All-America choice in 2005. He was a major in Humanities/Communications.

During his second season with the Browns, Jerome appeared in eight games.
Jerome Harrison is expected to push Jason Wright for the backup job and if Jamal Lewis goes down, Harrison may become the running back that leads the Browns to their first playoff appearance in years.
