[edit] High School Career
Douglas was a basketball star in high school, averaging 20.5 points, 3 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 3 steals as a senior. On the gridiron, he was also exceptional, accumulating 80 catches for 1,539 yards and 14 TD's over his 3-year career. He was rated 3-stars by Rivals.com and accepted a scholarship to Louisville in 2003, picking the Cardinals over Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Missouri.
[edit] College career
[edit] 2003
Douglas saw no action in 2003, red shirting, and spending the entire year on the scout team.
[edit] 2004
In his first year of action, Douglas played in 12 games as a wideout and caught 5 passes for 43 yards. He played a valuable role on special teams as well. His highlight of the year was a 65-yard touchdown run on a reverse in the 2004 AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis that propelled the Cardinals to a 44-40 victory and a #6 final AP ranking in the team's last year as a member of Conference USA.
[edit] 2005
Harry saw an increased role in 2005 with the departure of J.R. Russell. His first career receiving TD came in a 3 catch, 91 yard performance against Oregon State in which the Cardinals won, 63-27. Against arch-rival Cincinnati, he had a (then) career-high 5 catches for 87 yards and a TD in a 46-22 victory. Douglas finished the year with 27 catches for 457 yards.
[edit] 2006
As a junior, he would be counted on even more with the graduations of Montrell Jones and Joshua Tinch. He started off the year with a 26 yard run off a reverse against Kentucky that set up a 48 yard score by Michael Bush in a 59-28 win. Against Miami, despite scoring no touchdowns, he had a big game catching 4 passes for 94 yards on his birthday. He caught a TD pass from Hunter Cantwell the next week at Kansas State in a 24-6 win, and went on to catch 5 more, 2 in the season finale against Connecticut. In the 2007 Orange Bowl, he registered a personal best and an Orange Bowl best 10 catches for 165 yards in a 24-13 Cardinals win. He and fellow teammate Mario Urrutia proved to be one of the best receiving tandems in the entire nation.
[edit] 2007
Douglas started off 2007 with a bang, catching 5 balls for 151 yards and 2 scores in an easy win over Murray State. He caught a TD pass in each of his team's next 3 games against MTSU, Kentucky, and Syracuse before suffering an injury. He returned on October 13 against Cincinnati, catching 7 passes for 118 yards, none of which was more important than a 51-yard reception that set up a game winning TD by Anthony Allen in a 28-24 win. To close out the year, he caught a TD in a 24-17 win over Pitt and came up with a great performance despite a 55-17 loss at South Florida, recording 8 receptions for 136 yards and 1 touchdown. After the year, he was invited to the Under Armor Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL along with fellow teammate Brian Brohm.
