Notebook: Harris thrilled with national honor

The tweet popped up in his Twitter timeline. Jordan Harris to some breaking news was the Walter Camp defensive player of the week.

He was overjoyed, but he didn’t truly get the impact of what just happened.

“I thought it was for the Big 12, but it was for the whole country,” the Iowa State linebacker said.

It didn’t take long for Harris to realize he was receiving national recognition for his seven tackle, one interception performance that helped lead the Cyclones to a 24-0 shutout of Texas on Saturday.

“That is something I’m really proud of,” Harris said.
