SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS 2019 MEDIA GUIDE 2019 HIGHLIGHTS • Forced a Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. fumble vs. Cle. (10/7), marking his first special teams FF. GOLDMINE The 49ers hosted the third annual Crucial Catch Fashion Show pre- sented by Dignity Health on Oc- tober 2nd, 2019, featuring cancer warriors representing all cancers as they modeled apparel donated by Levi’s. Harris and his team- mates were paired with each of the warriors to share their stories of strength and courage with the audience and walk the runway. Prior to Week 2’s matchup in Cincinnati during the 2019 season, the 49ers spent time in Youngstown, Ohio, where they partici- pated in the Community Blitz. Harris and some of his teammates joined the students at Williamson Elementary School to talk about inclusion and anti-bullying. They players spoke at an assembly be- fore helping the kids write compliment cards and discuss how to be kind to one another. Harris and his teammates surprised guests of the CityTeam Men’s Program and House of Grace in November of 2018, at Levi’s Sta- dium. The group believed they were just taking a tour of the sta- dium, but they were in fact joining the 49ers players for a night full of exciting events. The guests received a makeover and haircut, selected a new outfit from Dockers, snapped a new headshot and then shared a Thanksgiving dinner with the 49ers players. HARRIS’ GOLDEN NUGGETS Followed in his father’s football career path, as Mike Harris played defensive back at the University of Florida for four years (1994-97). In high school, Harris participated in Nike Football’s “The Opening” series, which according to Nike is “the only national camp that offers athletes state-of-the-art education in both Nike Football Training and position-specific football from re- spected position coaches, while improving each player who attends, and does all of this free of cost to attendees.” Harris grew up with former Gator teammates CB Duke Daw- son, who was drafted in 2nd round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots, and S Keanu Neal, who was drafted in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons. All three played on the 7-on-7 team, the Rat Pak, that was coached by 8-year NFL veteran Keiwan Ratliff. 6-0 | 215 | FLORIDA 6.9.94 | ORLANDO, FL | 2ND YEAR | ACQUIRED D-6 IN ‘18 36 S MARCELL HARRIS 2019 Date Opp W/L P/S Tot Sol Ast Sk Yds Int Yds PD FF FR Yds SIGNED TO SF PRACTICE SQUAD ON 9/1 Sep 8 at TB W - PRACTICE SQUAD - - - - - Sep 15 at Cin W - PRACTICE SQUAD - - - - - Sep 22 Pit W - PRACTICE SQUAD - - - - - PROMOTED TO SF ACTIVE ROSTER ON 10/2 Oct 7 Cle W 1/0 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Oct 13 at LAR W 1/0 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Oct 20 at Was W 1/0 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Oct 27 Car W 1/0 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Oct 31 at Arz W 1/0 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Nov 11 Sea L 1/0 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Nov 17 Arz Nov 24 GB Dec 1 at Bal Dec 8 at NO Dec 15 Atl Dec 21 LAR Dec 29 at Sea TOTALS 6/0 0 0 0 0.0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 0 HARRIS’ GAME-BY-GAME GOLDMINE (CONTINUED) Harris notes that his mother, Andrea Tate, is the most influencial person in his life.
