In 2009, Harris became one of the top cornerbacks in college football after recording 55 tackles and two interceptions. He was selected to the All-ACC first team and received various All-American honors.

Harris would again receive All-ACC honors (second team) following his junior campaign. He totaled 44 tackles and a third career interception in 2010.

Following his junior season, Harris announced that he would forgo his final season of eligibility and enter the NFL draft. He left Miami having played in 39 games in three seasons, including 32 starts. He made 129 career tackles and three interceptions.
