Dwayne Harris (ECU '11) was a four-year letterman under head coach Skip Holtz and ECU Hall of Famer Ruffin McNeill, helping the Pirates to five consecutive bowl appearances, a 41-38 win over Boise State in the 2007 Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl and back-to-back Conference USA Championship titles. He left the program as the school's all-time leader in both receptions (268) and reception yards (3,001) after breaking single-season standards in both categories as a senior in 2010. Harris, a jack-of-all-trades on the gridiron who returned punts, kickoffs and occasionally playing at quarterback, was tabbed as an honorable mention All-America selection (2010), named Conference USA Co-Most Valuable Player (2010), three-time all-league member (first team 2009-10) and earned inclusion the C-USA All-Freshman Team. As a member of the special teams' unit, Harris holds ECU records for kickoff returns in a season (41 in 2010), kickoff return touchdowns in a season (3 in 2009) and career kickoff returns for a touchdown (3 from 2007-10). During his final collegiate season, Harris caught 101 passes for 1,123 yards with 10 touchdowns and ranked sixth nationally in receptions per game (7.8). Harris participated in the 2011 Senior Bowl before being selected in the 2011 National Football Draft by the Dallas Cowboys in the sixth round.
