Nate Harris' redemption
Back in 2002, talented prep linebacker Harris was headed to Miami on a football scholarship. But a few weeks before his graduation, Harris served as a lookout man in an armed robbery. He avoided jail time by completing a six-month boot camp program, but the 'Canes revoked his scholarship. Now he's a star at Louisville and can't wait to take on the school that ditched him. "Once I got in trouble, they never called my mom, they never called my parents, none of my family members, nobody," Harris told the Palm Beach Post. "What really gets at me, there was the same situation with another player [Willie Williams] and they gave him a chance. That's what is really burning me up inside."
