ALAMOSA — Jarrell Harrison, who has led the Adams State football program for the past four seasons, announced on Monday that he is stepping down from his duties as head football coach effective immediately.

The Grizzlies finished this past season with an overall record of 0-11 and a 0-9 mark in RMAC play. Harrison has been part of the Grizzly football program for eight years, including four as head coach.

“We would like to thank Coach Harrison for everything he has done for this program during his time here . I would like to express my sincere appreciation for his dedication to Adams State Football and I wish him the absolute best in his future endeavors,” said Athletic Director Katelyn Smith

Harrison will remain with the Grizzly athletic department throughout the semester to assist with the transition to a new head coach.
