TERRY HARVEY

Terry Harvey, one of the most celebrated all-around athletes in Gwinnett County history, was a three-time first-team all-state football player (1988-90) and the AJC Class A Player of the Year (1990). He went on to stardom as a football quarterback and baseball pitcher at NC State. Harvey’s first all-state season came as a sophomore linebacker, the final two as a dual-threat quarterback, though he was a two-way starter throughout. As a senior, he passed for 1,571 yards and 10 touchdowns and had 117 tackles, six forced fumbles and 14 interceptions. He finished his career with 7,100 combined rushing/passing yards and 82 combined touchdowns. Dacula, a Class A school at the time, was 46-7 with two region titles in Harvey’s four seasons as a varsity starter (13-27 in the four years prior). At NC State, Harvey was a three-year starting quarterback and passed for 5,925 yards and 38 touchdowns, both setting school records. He won 35 games as a pitcher, also a school record, and pitched a no-hitter against national power Florida State. Harvey chose baseball professionally and played three minor league seasons. Harvey is a member of the Gwinnett County Sports Hall of Fame (2010) and the NC State Baseball Hall of Fame (2012).
