Andrew Harris

A four-time Grey Cup champion, Andrew Harris has distinguished himself as one of the Canadian Football League’s most accomplished athletes, now transitioning his expertise to coaching. After leading the Vancouver Island Raiders to three national championships in 2006, 2008, and 2009, Harris broke several league records for touchdowns and scoring, earning the Wally Buono Award as the most outstanding junior football player in Canada in 2009. His professional career began with the BC Lions in 2010, initially on special teams, before becoming the starting running back in the 2011 season. That year, he recorded 853 total yards and eight touchdowns, contributing to the Lions’ 34-23 Grey Cup victory, where he was named the Most Outstanding Canadian.

The same year, 2019, saw Harris become the all-time Canadian leader in yards from scrimmage and the career rushing yards leader for Canadian players. He achieved a rare feat in the 107th Grey Cup, winning both the Most Valuable Player and Most Valuable Canadian awards, leading the Blue Bombers to victory. He secured two more Grey Cup championships with the Blue Bombers in 2019 and 2021. Harris joined the Toronto Argonauts in 2022, continuing his stellar career by surpassing 10,000 career rushing yards.

In 2024, he was appointed Director of Football Operations for the Vancouver Island Raiders. Looking ahead to January 2025, Harris will take on the role of running backs coach for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, bringing his four Grey Cup titles and record-breaking career to player development at the professional level.
