The Green Vipers (2019) / Harrison Prieto — Weathercaster / Harrison Prieto — The Weatherman / Making It Rain Meet The Meteorologist Captain of FSU Men’s Hoops / Florida State College of Arts and Sciences — Harrison the Weatherman /

After wearing No. 35 in my first three seasons as a Seminole, I switched to No. 30 for the final three years of my career.  There is no specific reason for 30 – except that it is a nice multiple of 10.

Harrison Prieto is the 18^th player to wear No. 30 for the Seminoles.  Irv Thomas wore the number for the Seminoles (1988, 1989, 1990) after transferring to play at Florida State from the University of Kentucky.  As an undrafted free agent, Thomas played for the Lakers during the 1991 NBA season and is currently a scout for the 16-time NBA Championship team.

My full name is Harrison Hansbrough Prieto.  I’m named after my great grandfather, Peter Harrison Hansbrough, but my mom liked the name Harrison more than she did Peter, so she chose to name me Harrison.

My hometown of Mandeville, La. is well-known for its great food and great people.  As a community, we survived Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Ida in 2021 (the town is located on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain) and are a stronger group of people because we stuck together during the aftermath of the storm.
