Farmington Football’s Rothman Haris to Play at Westminster

(Farmington) Ok, quarterbacks in the UMAC, consider this your warning; Rothman Harris is coming for you. After terrorizing high school quarterbacks in Southeast Missouri for the last three years, the Farmington defensive end has signed with Westminster College in Fulton to play college football. Harris was virtually stronger than anyone smaller than him and faster than anyone bigger than him, making him a nightmare matchup at the high school level. He’ll apply those skills next year at the NCAA Divison Three level.
