Morgantown, West Virginia — West Virginia football legend Major Harris made headlines by donating two state-of-the-art luxury buses to the West Virginia Mountaineers Football Program — a monumental gift that has instantly elevated the team’s spirit and prestige.
The announcement, made at Milan Puskar Stadium in front of players, officials, and a sea of ecstatic fans, sent shockwaves of pleasure throughout Mountaineer Nation. Known for his electrifying playmaking talents and courageous leadership during his collegiate years, Major Harris was a Heisman finalist and is still regarded as one of the most revered players to ever wear the gold and blue. Despite his personal plaudits, Harris made it plain that this gesture was never about him.
“This program gave me everything — opportunity, support, a platform, and a home,” Harris told me. “This is my way of giving back to the place that made me who I am.”
What a way to give back.
The buses are entirely customized with WVU branding and include high-end facilities such as reclining leather seats, onboard entertainment systems, recovery pods, climate-controlled storage, and even digital workstations for players and coaches. Originally intended to improve comfort, focus, and team solidarity during road trips, they now serve as a symbol of the program’s pride and progress.
“We’re not just riding to games — we’re rolling with purpose now,” remarked Head Coach Neal Brown. “Major’s gift shows our players what it means to give back, to lead beyond the field, and to carry Mountaineer pride with you wherever you go.”
The reveal startled players, with many exploring the buses like kids in a candy store. One player made a joke: “I don’t even care where we’re playing — I just want to ride in this thing!” A different person commented, “It’s like a rolling piece of history… powered by Major Harris.”
The event was about more than just luxury; it was also about legacy. For Harris, this was a personal gift to ensure that today’s Mountaineers have the tools, motivation, and belief to continue the winning heritage.
Former players, alumni, and fans took to social media to express their gratitude for Harris’ newest act of charity. One tweet reads:
“Major Harris led us into the field. Now he’s leading us off. “A mountaineer forever.”
As the sun sank over Morgantown, the picture of those two glistening blue-and-gold busses stood as a proud tribute to a man who has never forgotten his roots — and who is still shaping the future of West Virginia Football.
Thank you, Major Harris. The Mountaineer spirit lives on, and it now travels in elegance.
