Kylon Harris turned a chip on his shoulder into a record-setting career at Stephen F. Austin, becoming the program’s all-time receptions leader and its third 3,000-yard receiver. The two-time All-American says family, faith and the sense of belonging he found in Nacogdoches matter as much as his achievements on the field. After earning his degree, he returned for a fifth season because SFA felt like home.

By the Numbers
  • 244 career receptions — the most in SFA history.
  • 3,000 career receiving yards — reached Oct. 17 at Nicholls.
  • 1,039 receiving yards in 2024 and 1,068 in 2025, with 10 touchdowns in each season.
  • 16 catches for 183 yards and 2 touchdowns in a 2025 game at East Texas A&M.
Yes, But

Harris’ records are the clearest measure of his impact, but he says his legacy should also reflect the people who supported him and the values his mother instilled: faith, humility and respect.

Bottom Line

Harris leaves SFA with a place in its record book—and hopes his lasting mark will be the example he set beyond the field.
