Johns Hopkins University Athletics

One of the most dynamic and recognizable players in the storied history of the Johns Hopkins men’s lacrosse program, Kyle Harrison led the Blue Jays to one of the great four-year runs in school history from 2002-05.

A key member of current head coach Dave Pietramala’s first recruiting class, Harrison opened his career with a two-goal effort in a stunning upset of defending national champion Princeton. Four years later, he ended his career with a two-goal effort in a win against Duke in the national championship game. In between, he became the face of Johns Hopkins lacrosse.

A three-time All-American, including a first team selection as a junior and senior, Harrison twice earned the McLaughlin Award as the National Midfielder of the Year and was the 2005 recipient of the Tewaaraton and Enners Awards as the nation’s top player. More than 15 years after graduating, he remains the only Johns Hopkins player to win the Tewaaraton.

Harrison finished his career with 81 goals and 45 assists and also ranks as one of the top faceoff specialists in school history as he won 328-of-537 (.611). He remains one of just 11 players in school history with more than 300 career ground balls (304) and still ranks third in career faceoff winning percentage.
