The gifted 6-3, 214-pounder from Palmyra, N.J., participated in NC State's Senior Day pregame cer- emonies against Wake Forest Nov. 8 and made sure his family was able to come watch him play. He finished with 15 catches for 134 yards in the 27-23 loss to the Demon Deacons, one of the six contests this season he had at least 100 receiving yards. Harmon elected to not try for a seventh game over the century mark and will sit out the Gator Bowl, following the path that former NCSU defensive end Bradley Chubb forged last year when he bypassed the Sun Bowl, a 52-31 victory over Arizona State. "The past three years has been the greatest ex - perience of my life," Harmon said in a statement. "When I was recruited by Coach [Dave] Doeren and Coach [George] McDonald, I was a shy New Jersey kid. Through their nurturing, teaching and support, and that of the entire NC State coaching and sup- port staff, I feel I have grown into a man. "My family and I are grateful for this support. The University has become home and will always be for me. Thank you all at North Carolina State University, including the faculty, the academic ad- ministration and the entire athletic department for your support throughout this journey." Harmon will finish his decorated NC State career with 177 receptions for 2,665 yards and 16 touch- downs. He tallied 81 catches for 1,186 yards and seven touchdowns this season, with a career-high 247 yards and two scores on 11 receptions in the 51-41 loss at Syracuse Oct. 27. Harmon is just the third wideout in NC State history to have back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons, joining NFL Hall of Fame candidate Torry Holt and Jerricho Cotchery, who played 12 seasons in the NFL. This season, Harmon led the ACC with 98.8 receiving yards per game, is first in overall yardage and is tied for third in receptions. He was named first-team All-ACC in 2018. Last year, he was a first-team pick by the media and a second-team selection by the league. Harmon concludes his Wolfpack career third all time in receiving yards and fourth in receptions. CBSSports.com's Chris Trapasso and Ryan Wilson both had Harmon in the first round of their mock NFL Drafts, with Trapasso tabbing him 23rd to the Seattle Seahawks and Wilson penciling him at No. 18 to the Indianapolis Colts. Luke Easterling of USA Today's Draft Wire had Harmon going with the first choice of the second round to the Arizona Cardinals. Harmon, a junior, is considered a potential first-round NFL Draft pick.
