WASHINGTON (June 25, 2026) – Howard University men's basketball standout Bryce Harris (Brentwood, N.Y.) signed an undrafted free agent with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The announcement came Thursday.
 
Harris has signed an NBA Summer League contract after participating in a pre-draft workout with the organization earlier this month. The agreement gives the former Bison an opportunity to compete for a spot within Oklahoma City's player development system.
 
This season, Harris, who was named to the BOXTOROW HBCU All-American First Team, became the second straight Bison (eight overall) to win MEAC (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) Player of the Year after leading the conference in scoring (17.4 ppg) and rebounding (6.7 rpg). Nationally, he finished the regular season among the nation leaders in free throw attempts (52^nd) and free throws made (49^th).
 
In 2021, Harris joined HU where he played his entire five-year collegiate career, a rare feat in the current college basketball landscape. Bison head coach Kenneth Blakeney considers Harris the most important recruit in program history, winning three MEAC Titles, earning three NCAA Tournament bids and securing the program's first NCAA Tournament win.
 
Harris is the first Bison since the 1980s to be part of four winning seasons at The Mecca, tallying over 1,500 career points and 700 career rebounds.
 
Off the court, Harris has been an involved member of the Howard University community. In his sophomore year, he joined Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., has been a student tour guide and actively involved with the team.
 
In April, Harris won the Nolan Richardson award, which is presented annually to a division I player who is the heart and soul of his team and a leader on and off the court.
 
The 2026 NBA Summer League takes place July 9-19.
