Jay Harris is a standout senior wide receiver at Downingtown East High School in Exton, Pennsylvania. Harris signed a letter of intent to play football at Michigan State University earlier this year.
He's considered a 3-star recruit by ESPN and Rivals.com. ESPN ranks him as the as the second best wide receiver in the state, as well as the number 17 overall Pennsylvania prospect.
He would have been a promising young receiver for the Spartans in a couple years.

Under the rap name Jay DatBull, Harris released a music video called "Datbull 4 Life" which includes the following lyrics...

Harris's mom can't be happy about any of this, especially given that her son and his friends look like they're about to call her to bring the minivan so they can go to the mall.
