Harley is one of the most successful wide receivers in Hurricanes history. In five seasons, he set a Hurricanes record with 182 career receptions, and he racked up 2,158 yards with 15 touchdowns. Last season, Harley had 57 catches for 543 yards and five scores. He was a 2020 All-ACC third-team pick.
Harley said he wants his future team to know he’s a gamer and a versatile playmaker at wide receiver.
“I’m a competitor,” Harley said. “My game speed, and I’m a route-runner. Inside, slot, wideout. I can do it all.”
