3. Josh Harris (2000 - 2003)

Originally from Westerville, Ohio, Josh Harris rewrote much of the BGSU record book during his time as quarterback.

Harris led the Falcons to great success against the ranked teams in the nation, going a combined 6-1 against BCS competition when he was the starter. The Falcons were ranked as high as No. 20 in the Associated Press Top 25 during both the 2002 and 2003 seasons and finished the 2003 campaign ranked No. 23 and No. 24 in the final BCS standings.

His senior season was one of the greatest in program history as he broke single-season program records for pass completions (325), pass attempts (494), yards passing (3,813), touchdown passes (27) and completion percentage (.658). He was a Davey O'Brien Award semifinalist, honorable mention All-American and an invitee to the 2003 Senior Bowl.

Harris also led the Falcons to a victory over Northwestern by a final score of 28-24 in the 2003 Motor City Bowl, in which he threw for three touchdowns and accounted for 454 total yards.
At the time, Harris became just the third player in MAC history to eclipse the 4,000-yard mark in total offense in a season, while ranking second in the country his junior year in points responsible for.

At the completion of his career, he was one of only two quarterbacks in NCAA Division I FBS history (joining Antwan Randle-El) to throw for 40 career touchdowns and rush for 40 more. He was drafted in the sixth round of the 2003 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens and was also a member of the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants during his professional career.
