UW This Season: Ivan Harrison is once again healthy and ready to contribute to the Cowboy Football program after rehabilitating from shoulder and knee surgeries following the 2004 season. Harrison is one of four Cowboy running backs that should all challenge for playing time in 2006. In fact the Cowboy coaching staff, listed four running backs as co-starters at the conclusion of 2006 spring drills. One of those co-starters listed was Harrison. He had surgery on both his right shoulder and right knee following the 2004 season.

2005: While he tried to rehab in time for the 2005 season, Harrison was hampered by the offseason surgeries all of the 2005 season. He appeared in only one game in 2005 against Ole Miss.

2004: He led the Cowboys in rushing as a sophomore in 2004, carrying the ball 159 times for 587 yards. Harrison started all 10 games he played in during the `04 season. He sprained his left shoulder at Texas A&M, forcing him to sit out the Ole Miss and Louisiana-Monroe games. But Harrison fought back from that shoulder injury to conclude his sophomore season ranked No. 6 in the MWC in rushing (58.7 yards per game), No. 12 in total offense (59.9 yards per game) and No. 16 in all-purpose yards (70.6 yards per game). In 2004, he teamed with Joseph Harris to give Wyoming one of the best one-two combinations at running back in the Mountain West Conference. Combined, the two accounted for 996 net rushing yards for the 2004 season. Harrison had the best game of his career against New Mexico in the regular-season finale (93 rushing yards). He gained 50 yards on only seven carries versus Appalachian State. After being injured in the Texas A&M game and missing the next two contests versus Ole Miss and Louisiana-Monroe, Harrison bounced back against San Diego State, rushing for 70 yards on 17 carries. Harrison also threw the first TD pass of his career against the Aztecs -- a 12-yarder for UW's final touchdown of the game. Against Colorado State, Harrison had another outstanding game, running for 88 yards on 14 carries and a career long run of 47 yards. He followed up that performance with 75 yards and two rushing TDs against Air Force. Harrison ran for 72 yards, three touchdowns and caught a pass for the winning two-point conversion in the third overtime at UNLV on Nov. 6. He developed physically, bulking up from 176 pounds to 190 pounds in the offseason between his redshirt freshman and sophomore seasons, while maintaining his allusiveness and quickness.

2003: Harrison ranked second on the team in rushing attempts and rushing yards in his redshirt freshman season. He carried the ball 41 times for 151 yards, and scored one touchdown. Harrison also had eight pass receptions for 66 yards. He was UW's second best kickoff returner, running back five kickoffs for 126 yards. He averaged a team high 25.2 yards per return. His best individual game rushing was against Oklahoma State, carrying the ball five times for 39 yards, and catching one pass for 15 yards. He had two plays of over 30 yards as a freshman -- a 53-yard kickoff return at Utah State and a 34-yard kickoff return at San Diego State. He earned his first varsity letter.
