Gardner-Webb Athletics Hall of Fame
One of Gardner-Webb's unsung heros on the gridiron in the 1990s, running back Shedrick "Shed" Harris was a workhorse in the backfield. Harris played on Gardner-Webb's famed 1992 team that finished 12-2 and advanced to the NAIA National Championship Bowl, but was at his best after fighting back from an injury-shortened 1993 season. Harris returned stronger than ever, leading Gardner-Webb in rushing in 1994, 1995 and 1996. He was a force in his final campaign, rushing for a career-high 1,080 yards and 13 touchdowns in 1996. That production saw Harris earn second-team All-South Atlantic Conference honors and finish his career as one of the most productive rushers in program history. Harris finished with 2,453 career yards and 24 touchdowns on 513 carries, with his yardage total still ranking No. 6 in program history. He is also one of only five ball carriers in program history to record 500 or more attempts in a career.
