With Harris on campus for a seventh season in 2023, he had been part of the program for more than half of its 13 seasons. In a 2023 ESPN story focusing on several "senior citizens" in college football, among them Harris, UTSA head coach Jeff Traylor said about him:
Frank Harris? In this city? There's going to be a lot of businesses lining up to hire Frank Harris. He's got an amazing story. I'd put him in sales and turn him loose. He'd make some millionaire a billionaire. Everybody knows Frank. Other than Wemby [Spurs draft pick, phenom Victor Wembanyama], I think he's the second most popular. ... I'd say it's Wemby, [Spurs coach Gregg Popovich], Tony Parker, David Robinson, [Manu] Ginobili, [Tim] Duncan, and then Frank's probably in there."[18]
