Freshman Forward Andre Harris Transferring from Duquesne

6-foot-7 freshman forward Andre Harris announced Thursday night that he is leaving Duquesne and entering the transfer portal.

Harris appeared in seventeen games this season for Keith Dambrot’s squad, averaging 3.8 points and 1.8 rebounds per game in his freshman campaign. His best game of the season came when he scored a season-high 11 points against La Salle. According to a source, the departure of Harris was for similar reasons other have left this off-season and the changing of the culture within the Duquesne program.

Harris, who played his high school ball for Hillcrest Prep in Arizona, is originally from Michigan and committed to the Dukes back in Dec. of 2019. In high school, Harris was an unranked recruit, but held offers from TCU, Georgetown, Washington State, New Mexico, Montana, Grand Valley State, Duquesne, and others.

With the additions from the transfer portal and the 2021 recruiting class, Duquesne’s roster will have a much different look than this past season, in which the Dukes went 9-9 and 7-7 in conference.

Pittsburgh Sports Now is led to believe that this will be the last departure this season and the Dukes 2021-22 roster is set.
