Harris started his football career as a backup quarterback at Hot Springs High School, until moving to Des Arc High School for his senior season, where he would win the starter position and lead the Class A Eagles to an undefeated season (11–0).
He was only offered a scholarship to Ouachita Baptist University (OBU) after his father’s roommate at Ouachita convinced head coach Buddy Benson to do it. Harris' father, O.J “Buddy” Harris, also played football for OBU. In college, Cliff became an accomplished defensive back. He played all of the secondary positions and was a quality kick returner. He was named to two All-Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference (AIC) teams and was part of the 1966 AIC Football Championship team during his freshman season. Harris was part of the track and field team and graduated with a degree in math.
Harris attended Edison High School in Fresno, California, where he was a teammate of T. J. McDonald. Regarded as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Harris was listed as the #7 cornerback prospect in the class of 2009.
College career
Harris attended the University of Oregon, and played for coach Chip Kelly's Oregon Ducks football team from 2009 to 2011. Through the conclusion of the 2010 regular season, he had 33 solo tackles and five interceptions while also leading the nation with four punt return touchdowns and 20 passes defended. Harris was indefinitely suspended from playing after being pulled over in a car by Oregon State Police for traveling 118 miles per hour on Interstate 5 with a suspended license. He had been cited for the same pair of offenses in the recent past on multiple occasions. The trooper could also smell marijuana in the vehicle. When he asked who may currently be in possession of the drug, Harris memorably replied "We smoked it all", though at one point he also implied that someone else in the car, a cousin, was the only person using it. Harris was not charged with reckless driving as the trooper felt the car was under control. Following the indefinite suspension, Harris was dismissed from the Oregon football team December 5, 2011, after a series of traffic-related offenses and a reported citation for possession of marijuana.
