Things have been looking up for JaRon Harris - a standout sprinter in high school - since he broke the 4.4 mark in the 40-yard dash during a pro workout in Brookings.

That effort validated his senior stats - 70 catches for 966 yards with 11 touchdowns - and proved that the time he spent at workout camps in Arizona and Chicago had paid off.

The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder has since garnered interest from Chicago, Carolina and Indianapolis. The Colts - who employ former SDSU kicker Adam Vinatieri - came to Brookings for a private workout and subsequently brought Harris to Indianapolis for further testing.

In all, more than 10 teams have been in contact, a considerable number considering Harris competed at the Football Championship Subdivision level and didn't play football until his senior year of high school.

"He's an athletic guy who comes from an athletic background and an athletic family," said Sarnoff, who represents several NFL players, including the Vikings' Chester Taylor.

The Vikings, Bears, Cowboys and Packers worked him out at SDSU's pro day a couple weeks ago. Since then, he's had private workouts with the Panthers and Colts, and is headed back to Indianapolis on Wednesday for a second look.

"When the scouts come, they want you to run routes," Harris says. "And if you can run them crisp and get in and out of your breaks, that's what it is all about at receiver, and that's what they all stress the most."

Harris is known as a speed guy, and would be a perfect fit for a team looking for a deep threat. He ran a 4.35 in the 40-yard dash at SDSU's pro day. Had he done that at the NFL Combine, it would have put him in the top four.

He has also run back kicks....very good hands.
