Harris Jorgenson, a 6-3 middle blocker and outside hitter from Burlington has decided to continue his playing career at UW-Oshkosh according to head coach Brian Schaefer. Jorgenson will join the team for the 2009-2010 season.
"Harris has been to campus on several occasions and connected to UW-Oshkosh and the team right away," stated Schaefer. "He is a great player that can play more than one position on the court. I think with his commitment to our team this will jump start our recruits in making a decision for next season."
Jorgenson attends Burlington High School and played for head coach Tim Gesteland. In 2007 and 2008 he was named First Team All-Southwest Conference, while being selected the conference and county player of the year his senior campaign.

"I choose UW-Oshkosh because of a combination of good academics and athletic environment," said Jorgenson. "The guys on the team are great and UW-Oshkosh has the students' best interest at heart. They want everyone to succeed and I could definitely see that in my visits to the campus. I feel I can grow as a student-athlete at UW-Oshkosh."
