Central standout to visit FAMU

Central senior DuJuan Harris, who finished the season with more than 1,700 rushing yards while leading the Bears to the Class 4A, District 8 title, will visit Division I-AA Florida A&M next week. Harris has not received any scholarship offers, according to Central coach Cliff Lohrey.

The visit to FAMU's Tallahassee campus will be his first official visit to a college. Harris did watch practice at USF last month, but it was an unofficial visit and the Bulls have yet to express strong interest in him, according to Lohrey.

FAMU, a historically black university that plays in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, finished 7-4 in 2006. The Rattlers are coached by former Denver Broncos defensive lineman Rubin Carter.
