EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball announced the signing of junior guard/forward Damoni Harrison (Atlanta, Georgia) for the 2024-25 season. Harrison is the second player to sign with USI and Head Coach Stan Gouard this spring.

“Damoni has the ability to spread teams out with his shooting and a mid-range jump shot,” said Gouard. “His work ethic will fit in great with our team culture here at USI.

“(Damoni) figures out ways to impact the game however his team needs him,” continued Gouard. “We are ecstatic he’s a Screaming Eagle.”

Harrison comes to USI after a two-year stint at Tallahassee Community College where he was named second-team All-Panhandle Conference in 2023-24. The second-team Florida College System Activities Association All-State performer posted 10.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.0 assists during his second season with Tallahassee. He also recorded a season-high 22 points versus South Georgia Technical College and 11 assists versus Gordon State College.

During his freshman season with Tallahassee, Harrison posted 8.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 37 games. He recorded a season-high 17 points in a win at South Georgia State College and grabbed a season-best six rebounds three times.

Prior to playing at Tallahassee, Harrison lettered in basketball at Archer High School (Lawrenceville, Georgia). He was named first-team All-State, All-Conference, and All-County as a senior, averaging 18.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists.

The Screaming Eagles reached the Ohio Valley Conference Championship post-season in 2023-24 marking the second-straight season since USI made the transition to NCAA Division I.
