Harrison was 49 years old, and leaves behind a career as a vice principal at New Brunswick High School, where he "demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting students who face life challenges, especially those for whom others have lost hope," according to a brief biography on the school's website.

As a fullback at Ohio State between 1987 and 1990, Harrison the ball 24 times for 92 yards during the 1989 and 1990 season, adding one reception for 10 yards.
