When Macho Harris was in Blacksburg, Bud Foster's defenses were at their best and that's likely not a coincidence. Harris was a dynamic cornerback who played on back-to-back defenses that ranked No. 1 in the country in 2005 and 2006, and back-to-back ACC Champions in 2007 and 2008.
Harris wasn't just a great defender, he was excellent with the ball in his hands. He recorded 15 career interceptions and returned four of them for touchdowns. He was also an electric kick and punt returner.
