WNBA Expansion Franchise Signs WVU’s Jordan Harrison

After going undrafted, West Virginia star guard Jordan Harrison signed with the WNBA’s expansion Portland Fire on Thursday.

Harrison capped off her WVU tenure with a Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year nod, averaging 13.2 points per game and totaling 106 steals in two years as a Mountaineer.

“Yeah, it’s definitely been a great ride, I would say. I’m just very thankful and blessed for the journey here. I love it here and I wouldn’t have traded it for the world. But yeah, we had to build and I think that’s what we did,” Harrison said about her time in Morgantown following WVU’s loss to Kentucky in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

“We just build it up more each year. And yeah, I just want to thank Coach Kellogg for believing in me. But yeah, it’s definitely been a great journey and I’m happy to have done it with my teammates.”

Harrison followed head coach Mark Kellogg to Morgantown in 2023 when he was hired from Stephen F. Austin.
