2011
Harwell was able to build on his performance from his Freshman season going into his 2011 Sophomore season at Miami.

2012
Harwell seemed to regress back to his Freshman form in his 2011 Junior season, and the statistics were very similar. He finished with 68 Receptions, 870 Yards, and eight Touchdowns in nine games.
He tied Miam’s record of most 100 yard receiving games in school history with 15. He also earned Second Team All-MAC Honors.
2013
After being a star Wide Receiver at Miami and recording 229 Receptions, 3,166 Yards, and 23 Touchdowns, Harwell was dismissed from the program due to off the field issues.
He transferred to the Kansas Jayhawks and was forced to redshirt for the 2013 season.
2014
Harwell was voted a Team Captain and began his career at Kansas with high expectations, but it was questioned that his performance came from playing in the Mid-American Conference, which is looked at as a lesser Conference.

He silenced the critics in his first action since the 2012 season. In the week one game against Southeast Missouri State he had 4 Receptions, 46 Yards, and two Touchdowns.
He was unable to continue his early season pace and only scored three Touchdowns the remainder of the season. He finished with 44 receptions, 470 Yards, and three Touchdowns.
"He has ordinary size and speed and doesn’t have the most natural hands, but works well out of the slot, using the middle of the field with a veteran field sense. Harwell displays quickness in his breaks and smooth redirection skills, creating a cushion in coverage with his short-area route quickness.-Courtesy of Dane Brugler of CBS Sports"
Harwell is not currently projected to be drafted in the 2015 NFL Draft, but he can certainly still improve his stock by showing improved speed at the NFL Combine.
If Harwell isn’t drafted in the 2015 NFL Draft he still has hope to make it on an NFL roster as an Undrafted Free Agent.
