Harris Signs with Radford Men’s Basketball

RADFORD, Va. – Radford head men's basketball coach Darris Nichols has announced the addition of forward Josiah Harris. He will join the Highlanders for the 2023-24 season following one season at St. Francis Brooklyn and have two years of eligibility left.

"We are excited to welcome Josiah to Radford University, this community and our program," said Nichols. "He is a really talented player and a great person who will represent us well."

Harris, a native of Wilmington, Del., stands at 6'8", 220 pounds and gives the Highlanders another athletic post player that can get the job done on both ends of the floor.

In his first season at the Division I level, Harris immediately proved himself to be a force around the basket for the Terriers. The big man played in and started 29 games, averaging 9.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest.

Amongst all players in the Northeast Conference (NEC), he ranked third in rebounding and second in blocks, while remaining top-100 in the nation in total rebounds, rebounds per game, offensive rebounds, defensive rebounds and blocks per game.

With 14 games scoring in double figures, including a season-high 20 points against Wagner, Harris tallied eight double-doubles last season – good for 87^th-best in the nation. He ended the year shooting 44.2% (106-240) from the field and 71.4% (50-70) at the free throw line.

Prior to playing for St. Francis Brooklyn, Harris had stints at Hutchinson Community College and Cowley College. His high school ball was played for William Penn High School.

Harris will be joined by freshmen newcomers Trenton Walters and Trevor Roe, who signed National Letters of Intent with Radford last November.
