BILLINGS OUTLAWS

Harvey’s first year in the league isn’t just highlighted by a single four-point conversion. He’s racked up double-digit touchdowns on the season and has helped lead Billings into contention as one of the very best teams in the league.

The passionate fans of Billings have his fiancee to thank for a lot of that. Not only was she there to nudge him in the right direction, but she was a continual support for him even halfway across the country.

“I FaceTime them every day, at least four times a day,” he said, including that he does as he walks out onto the practice field. “She’s a momma’s girl.”

While some teammates or coaches might give a guy a hard time about that, it’s all love around these parts for Harvey. He credits that support for why Billings is in a position to win a championship.

“We have a wonderful coaching staff just putting us in these situations to never fail and to believe in each other,” he explained.

“The one thing that I love about this team, like we’re friends outside of football. We hang out, we go grab food, go to the gym together, we hang out in the hotel, play the games. All that helps us on the field even more because we have a bond outside of football – I know I can trust them.”

His teammates know they can trust him to make big plays like he did in Week 9 as Billings makes that final push towards the playoffs.
