He was one of the great players from the early 60's, his last few years were taken from him by dementia, but his contribution to LSU football was enormous.

Condolences to his friends and family.

Wendell was a great player between Cannon and Stovall. He was later a star defensive back with the Baltimore Colts. where he teamed up with former Tigers DT Fred Miller and LB Dennis Gaubatz on some good Colts teams.

Super nice guy!! Loved LSU.
Great player at LSU and the Baltimore Colts. Played both sides of the ball for the Tigers, and he also was a kicker!!

Wendall Harris was a strong contributor to some tremendous Tiger teams, including the 1961 SEC Champions. Harris was recognized as a great punt and kick returner in the NFL. He was a versatile player--used at corner back on defense along with a few positions on offense.

May he RIP.
