Micah Harris brings a unique twist to The Doghouse—a Charleston High School graduate who’s now fully entrenched in Bulldog Nation. While he once wore the blue and white of Sikeston’s biggest rival, Micah’s deep respect for Bulldog athletics and his passion for the Sikeston community have made him a trusted voice on the podcast.

Micah is a die-hard Mizzou Tigers fan, known for bringing insightful analysis, unfiltered takes, and a healthy dose of rivalry banter to every episode. His perspective is shaped not just by his love for sports, but also by his work off the mic as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with Bootheel Behavioral Health in Sikeston, where he serves the community with compassion and purpose.

Micah’s journey from rival school to Bulldog Nation insider adds a unique voice to The Doghouse, where he shares insights on Bulldog athletics and highlights positive stories from Sikeston and beyond.
