NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Former Memphis, Tennessee, star Carmyn Harrison has joined the Belmont University women's basketball program, head coach Bart Brooks announced Monday. Following two years at Atlantic Coast Conference mainstay Georgia Tech, Harrison returns to her home state with two years of eligibility.

"We are thrilled that Carmyn will be joining our family at Belmont," spoke coach Brooks. "She is a versatile player with elite athleticism and talent, and our fans will love watching her compete for the Bruins next season. Carmyn epitomizes what it means to be a student-athlete and will be a wonderful addition to the Belmont community. I couldn't be more excited to welcome Carmyn to Belmont!"

As a sophomore at Georgia Tech, Harrison played in 22 of the Yellow Jackets' 30 games and scored four points at North Carolina this past January. In the season opener against Georgia State, Harrison recorded a career-best seven rebounds in a career-high 12 minutes on the court. She played a combined seven minutes against the Bruins last season and snagged a rebound in Belmont's narrow loss to Georgia Tech at the Gulf Coast Showcase in Estero, Florida.
