- Title:
- Recruiting Analyst
Harrison serves as a recruiting analyst for the Bulldog football program and is currently pursuing her Master’s in Sport Management at the University of Georgia.
A native of Athens, Ga., and graduate of Clarke Central High School, Harrison’s affiliation with UGA began in 2004 when she started her undergraduate degree at the University. She was introduced to the sport of roller derby while she was in college and left school to become a member and then captain of Team USA’s roller derby team. For the next 12 years, Harrison coached roller derby through her business, Tuff Love Coaching, around the world in locations like Bali, Indonesia, Barcelona, Spain and Germany.
When the COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing lockdown began in the spring of 2020, Harrison returned to school at Georgia State University to finish her degree in coaching. Following a 2021 summer internship with the Olympic strength and conditioning staff at GSU, Harrison fulfilled an internship requirement by returning to Georgia and working under football’s Director of Strength and Conditioning Scott Sinclair in January 2022. Her role continued to grow as she doubled up as a recruiting analyst and an intern for Sinclair during the 2022 summer before earning her latest spot on the Bulldog staff.
Harrison’s mother, Dawn Bennett-Alexander, taught at UGA in the Terry College of Business for 36 years.
