College career
Harrison was a Big East All-Rookie selection in his freshman year. Harrison is known as a prolific scorer and marksman, holding the St. John's record for three pointers made in a career.
Harrison scored a career-high 36 points, including six three-pointers, in an overtime loss to Villanova on January 2, 2013. He hit two free throws at the end of regulation to send the game to overtime. In his sophomore campaign, he averaged 17.8 points per game, good for third in the Big East. However, on March 1, he was suspended for the rest of the season by coach Steve Lavin. Lavin gave Harrison the option of transferring, turning pro, or reforming and remaining at St. John's; Harrison chose the third option. In the offseason, he attended a camp led by former NBA player John Lucas aiming to work on anger management issues. While there, he met and befriended former Rutgers coach Mike Rice. The two drove to practices together and seeing how Rice, who allegedly said homophobic comments to players, worked on his own issues gave Harrison a new perspective on life.
As a junior, Harrison was named to the First Team All-Big East. He was selected to the District II (NY, NJ, DE, DC, PA, WV) All-District team by the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA). Harrison was listed on the National Association of Basketball Coaches Division I All‐District 5 first team on March 12. He received the Haggerty Award honoring the best college basketball player in New York City.
As a senior, he was one of the 10 finalists for that season's Senior CLASS Award. He was named to the All Big East First Team.
