Jack Harris is in his second year on the Colorado football staff, having returned to his alma mater in the summer of 2018 as a graduate assistant working with the offense.
Harris, 28, returned to Colorado by way of Central Michigan, where he was a graduate assistant working with the offensive line for the 2017 season. The previous year (2016), he was the tight ends and inside linebackers coach for Western State in Gunnison.
He was a two-year starter for the Buffaloes, having started all 12 games at left offensive tackle as a senior, when he played the second-most snaps on offense and the fourth-most on the team overall (799). Selected as one of six CU captains by his teammates, he earned first-team All-Colorado honors from the state’s chapter of the National Football Foundation and shared the team’s Offensive Trench Award. He also played every snap (56) on the FG/PAT unit on special teams.
As a junior in 2012, he started 11 games, six at right guard and five at right tackle, finally getting some consistent playing time after missing the bulk of the 2011 season (his sophomore campaign) with a nasty ankle injury.
Harris graduated with a double major in Anthropology and Sociology from Colorado in May 2013. Following graduation, he moved to Bakersfield, Calif., where he was working in the oil fields in the area for two years.
He was born May 11, 1991 in Littleton, Colo., and graduated from Chaparral High School in nearby Parker, Colo., where he lettered in football and basketball; he was a high school All-American as an offensive lineman and was also named first-team All-Colorado and All-State (5A) by both the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News. His hobbies include fishing and camping. He is married to the former Jessica Ermish, and the couple have one child, Kahlea (born last October 2018). A cousin, M.J. Flaum, was an offensive lineman at Nebraska, and a grandfather, John Boice, played for the Chicago Bears as a tight end/defensive end.
