La'Donte Harris (born August 13, 1986 in Gadsden, Alabama) is a former wide receiver for the Clemson Tigers.
[edit] High School Career
Harris attended Litchfield High School in Gadsden, Alabama,[1] where he was an All-Southeast pick by PrepStar, runner-up selection as the AAA Back-of-the-Year in Alabama, all-state and all-county in his senior season as a team captain for coach Danny Kimble at Litchfield High School. He was a four-year starter in football, while playing quarterback, wide receiver, tailback, and defensive back. Also, he was a three-year starter in basketball, averaging 17 points per game during his senior season. He was a top 100 player at his position[2]as well as the first Tiger signee from Alabama since Steve Derriso in 1989.[3], in the 2004 recruiting class.[3]
[edit] College Career
As a freshman in 2004, Harris was one of only two true freshman that played in all 11 games in that season. He played 137 plays in 11 games and had three catches for 21 yards and had one catch in three different games (Texas A&M, University of Maryland and N.C. State). He also played 31 snaps against Utah State, 26 snaps against Maryland and 20 against N.C. State. He had a season-long 12-yard catch against N.C. State.[1] Going into his sophomore season, he moved to first-team wide receiver on the depth chart. He made his first career start against Colorado in the Champs Sports Bowl where he had an eight-yard reception in 22 snaps. He averaged 22.5 snaps per game at wide receiver and had six catches, but one was a 16-yard touchdown catch against Temple from Will Proctor. He recorded one reception in six different games while playing at least 13 snaps in all 12 games.[1] As a junior he had three catches for 14 yards while playing in 12 of the 13 games at wide receiver, including three snaps against Kentucky in the Music City Bowl. He played 34 snaps at Boston College and had a reception for six yards and a three-yard catch at Wake Forest.[1] During his senior year he started three games and recorded 12 catches for 136 and 1 touchdown. He also returned a punt for a touchdown against the University of South Carolina. Even though he was not named a permanent captain for the 2007 season, he was considered a captain by his team members.
