A former Wicksburg High star and SEC standout at the University of Arkansas with a brief pro career and coaching experience at the current four biggest Wiregrass high school programs
Jamel Harris, a 1996 Wicksburg graduate who attended Arkansas, played briefly in Canadian Football League and Arena Football League and has been an assistant coach or defensive coordinator at Dothan, Enterprise, Eufaula and Rehobeth, was approved by the Geneva School Board Friday morning as the new Panther head football coach and school athletic director.

This is the hardest working place I have seen. They are doing everything they can to make this school and this city grow and better for everybody involved in the school system.
Harris has spent six of his last eight years at Geneva, including the last two as linebackers and defensive coordinator. He also coached with the Panthers from 2015-18. During his first stint, he was a teacher at the middle school. He is currently a physical education teacher at the elementary school, though that could change now that he has been hired as head football coach at the high school.
He played pro ball for a few months in the Canadian Football League before deciding “it was too cold” in Calgary and returned to Arkansas to finish his degree in Kinesiology. He returned to pro ball in the Arena League with the Florida Bobcats, but his career ended with a knee injury. Harris was then hired by David Faulkner at Enterprise and was the Wildcats’ defensive line coach for five seasons . While he was at Enterprise he obtained his Master’s Degree from Ohio University in athletic administration.
“The No. 1 thing we are going to do is we are going to hit the weight room harder,” Harris said. “We have to get stronger because we are in a tough region – we really are as we are playing last year’s state champion and a state semifinalist. Right now in 4A, it looks like the state champ is coming out of our region so we have to get a lot bigger and a lot stronger.
