I received an email from either a close friend of Percy Harvin or perhaps a relative. To protect the person, I’m not going to give out their name. But the email that was sent to me said that information in the Percy Harvin Biography I have here is misleading, and perhaps even false. They specifically target the incidents in Percy’s junior and senior years of high school.
I’ll let you read the email, and please comment if you have any further information.
Your bio section is very misleading. Percy was suspended for one game during his junior year for unsportsmanlike conduct. In all actuality if was excessive celebration. During a game his senior year he was late tackled and then the defender spit in his face. Percy reacted and shrugged off a person how had him by the shoulders. He did not know that it was a ref. The coach of the opposing team came out in support of Percy but he was suspended anyway. At another game signs were hung that said, “Percy Who?” At the State playoff game adults lined the pathway to the field and chanted “Over rated” as he walked by. He was not expelled from the basketball team during his senior year. His mother withdrew him the team after it became clear that he was being targeted and there was a possibility of serious injury. He was repeated attacked by opposing players. I witnessed these incidents. The picture you painted of Percy is a bit distorted.
What your person said about Percy is true. To be frank you had a lot of adults targeting him. It really bothered me a lot. He was banned from competetion his senior year after he was under cut in a basketball game and getting in to a little shoving match. Frankly, the refs should have thrown the kid out of the game that undercut him as it was dangerous and blaten.
The part that bother me so much was you had adults making public comments about a 17 year old kid.
He is a good kid and an even better player. All of the press made his opponets upset so they would do dirty things to him. He was a victim of being too good. I’m very happy to see him do so well in Florida. I promise you have only seen the beginning..
Go Gators..
There are a lot of different versions floating around as to what exactly happened with Percy as realted to participation in basketball and track his senior year. I do not know which or what parts are correct. I do know that the few times I personally met Percy he was a very respectful young man and was very kind and good to talk with young people who looked up to him and to have his picture made with tham and give autographs.
I am a die hard Ohio State Buckeye fan and saw Percy after the championship game last year. he was very gracious and humble. As bad as I felt for my Buckeyes I was truly happy for Percy.
The single best answer to any questions that anybody has about Percy’s character is how he has conducted himself at Florida. He is a class act and a great athlete and football player. I personally believe he is the most exciting player in college football right now. I look forward to seeing what this young man will accomplish on the field and off.
I’m the personal to find out if precy is a family member. I don’t want any thing from him. I was told from my father that he is our family I want us to meet or just e-mail me back if he can. The Harvin family is gettting small and my brother is the that is walking the the last name Harvin to his full name is Shaun Harvin and my name is Marilyn Harvin. I live in philly and my brother is in winston-salem norh carolina. My dad is his dad cousin.
what the writer wrote is true about percy being taunted. I went to all of his games, it is true he was targeted because of jealousy. Unfortunatley
I went to high school with Percy and I helped with the football team and that is all true. Percy did have some anger issues, but he was definitely targeted.
