Short in stature, Lamar running back Kade Harrington has heard every whisper, every doubt about his outlook as a professional football player.
The all-time leading rusher in Lamar school history has always been one of the smaller athletes on his teams, going back to his days growing up in Kingwood.
Listed at 5-8 and weighing in at nearly 190 pounds, Harrington hasn't let that stop him. The former Southland Conference Player of the Year. had one scholarship offer out of Kingwood High School despite rushing for 1,944 yards and 22 touchdowns as a senior when he was named first-team Class 5A all-state.
