North Carolina A&T head football coach Vincent Brown announced Nescotia Harrison as the program's director of football operations on November 5, 2024. Harrison brings a winning mentality and deep passion for sports to her role. A former dual scholar-athlete on scholarship at Allen University, Harrison excelled in both volleyball and track and field, in addition to managing the football team. She served as the chartered president of the Sports Management Society and, as the 89th Miss Allen University, represented her HBCU as a queen for four years, embodying leadership on campus and beyond.
Harrison's foundation in sports began at home, inspired by her father's influence as a coach and her own experiences playing powderpuff football growing up. She also won a state championship in volleyball during high school, a testament to her competitive spirit and dedication. Her parents instilled in her a commitment to always outwork the competition, reinforcing the mentality she lives by: "When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful"—a philosophy from motivational speaker Eric Thomas that has shaped her approach on and off the field.
Harrison's career has encompassed roles in player engagement and football operations at Wingate University, along with high-profile positions at the College Football Playoff National Championship, the Las Vegas Bowl, and as a Training Camp Intern for the Los Angeles Rams. She is also a 2024 participant in the NFL Women's Forum, NFL Experienceship, and NFL Career Forum.
Pursuing her MBA in analytics with a 4.0 GPA from Wingate University, graduating in December 2024, Harrison founded the "We Need More Women in Sports" movement, advocating for diversity and equal opportunities within the sports industry. Outside of work, she enjoys working out, writing poetry, hanging out with her close friends, shopping, and connecting with her Southern roots through line dancing with her Mad Miles running group. Harrison is excited to bring her skills, values, and leadership to North Carolina A&T, where she aims to help drive the Aggies program to new heights.
