It’ll be interesting to see if Harley sticks to his word and actually follows through with his promise to commit to the winning school.
According to 247Sports, Harley is the No. 50 wide receiver in the class of 2017 and the No. 48 overall recruit from the state of Florida.
Harley also considered SEC schools Mizzou, Mississippi State, Kentucky and South Carolina during his recruiting process.
Check out the Russell Athletic Bowl on Wednesday, Dec. 28. The game starts at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time and can be seen on ESPN.
Update: Harley tweeted after his story rose to national prominence that he would not, in fact, be letting a bowl game decide his future:
A Bowl Game Will Not Determine My Future..!
