100 Days to Football Time in Oklahoma: #16 Justin Harrington By: Ryan Lewis Posted on: August 19, 2021

The Path to Norman

Justin Harrington took the JUCO route to OU. He attended Bakersfield College in California, across the country from his native North Carolina roots. Harrington visited Norman for the 2019 TCU game; he was impressed with the atmosphere and the staff and players. The visit led to an offer from the Sooners. Super K noted his skillset at the time, mentioning specifically his speed and his knack for being a hitter. After that, the Sooners held strong through a few other visits and landed a signing day announcement from the defensive back.

Career so Far

Unfortunately, Harrington tore his ACL during fall camp prior to his first season on campus. He redshirted and did not play in 2020.
