Tarleton State just added a dynamic piece to their 2026-27 roster with the signing of guard Trey Harris, a six-foot-seven Houston native making his fifth college stop in six years. Harris, who averaged over 16 points and nearly 6 rebounds last season at West Virginia State — including 11 games with 20+ points — brings elite scoring versatility and a Lone Star State return after stints at Lamar and beyond. His dad, former NFL wideout Herbert Harris Jr., a Lamar Hall of Honor inductee, adds pedigree to the family legacy. The coaching staff is thrilled with his ability to create his own shot and fit into their experienced, upperclassman-heavy squad — and Harris himself felt right at home from day one.

Jake Williams, Tarleton State’s rising assistant basketball coach, is earning national acclaim after being selected as one of 50 up-and-coming coaches for the prestigious 2026 TopConnect Symposium in Las Vegas—an invitation-only powerhouse event designed to fast-track leadership, networking, and career growth in college athletics. With over a decade of experience—including NCAA Tournament runs and a successful junior college head coaching stint—Williams is poised for big things, especially as he enters his first season with the Texans. Already recognized as a top mid-major assistant in 2026, his selection underscores his elite potential, while his head coach Eric Haut calls him one of the brightest minds in the game. This symposium, where past attendees have surged into head coaching and AD roles, is shaping up to be a major catalyst for Williams’ ascent.
