Boston College career rushing leader Montel Harris can play for the Eagles next season after receiving a medical hardship waiver.

Harris missed the first three games of last season then suffered a season-ending knee injury in his second game back against Wake Forest. In the fourth quarter of that game, Harris broke Derrick Knight's school record of 3,725 yards with a 26-yard run. Harris finished the year with 3,735 yards.
