Ole Miss tight end Gerald Harris is among 25 players confirmed to the initial roster for the The Pro Football Hall of Fame Texas vs. the Nation Challenge. The fourth annual all-star game will be held Feb. 6, 2010 in El Paso.
A senior from Terrell, Texas, Harris has helped the Rebel offense rank third in the SEC in fewest sacks allowed and helped pave the way for Dexter McCluster to rush for 985 yards. Harris boasts eight receptions, including four TDs in his two seasons in the Red and Blue.
Heading up the coaching staffs for this year's game will be Howard Schnellenberger, head coach for the Nation, and Bill Bates, head coach for Texas. Schnellenberger has been part of four collegiate national championships including the 1983 Miami Hurricanes who won the school's first national title ever defeating Nebraska in the 50th Orange Bowl.
