Howard University guard Bryce Harris is getting his shot at the next level.
Harris has earned a chance to compete on the professional stage after signing a Summer League deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to 247Sports.
Harris built his reputation at Howard as one of the MEAC’s most productive two-way guards.
As a senior, he averaged 17.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game while shooting 54.7 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from 3-point range.
His resume at Howard includes All-MEAC First Team honors, MEAC All-Tournament recognition, MEAC All-Defensive Team honors, and six MEAC Defensive Player of the Week awards. Harris also reached the 1,000-point and 500-rebound milestones during his college career, underscoring both his production and consistency.
Harris led the MEAC in field goal percentage at 55 percent while ranking near the top of the league in scoring, rebounding, blocks, and minutes during the 2023-24 season.
He also earned BOXTOROW HBCU All-America recognition and was named to the Lou Henson Early Season Watch List, further highlighting his impact on the national HBCU basketball landscape.
Harris played his entire collegiate career at Howard — a rarity in the current era of college sports, where athletes often shift schools.
“Howard embraced me first,” Harris, the MEAC Player of the Year, said during the NCAA Tournament about the school where he’s spent his entire collegiate career. “Not just as a player but as a student. The culture, the academics, the social justice, the community involvement — all of that makes it special to put that jersey on.”
Representing Howard is bigger than basketball
He described the university’s atmosphere as one of “healthy pressure,” shaped by peers who push each other to achieve at a high level both in the classroom and beyond.
“Continuing to push the standard makes you a better person,” Harris added. “That’s in the DNA of Howard students — and now it’s in mine.”
