The Oakland Raiders’ Erik Harris attempts a tackle on Le’Veon Bell during a game last season. Harris was joind by a former California (Pa.) teammate, offensive lineman Eric Kush, on the Raiders when Kush agreed to terms with the now-Las Vegas Raiders last week.

Two former Vulcans are reuniting in the desert.

Veteran offensive lineman Eric Kush (Chartiers Valley) tweeted that he is joining the Las Vegas Raiders. Kush was an All-PSAC performer over his career at Cal (Pa.) from 2008-12.

Kush’s former college teammate, safety Erik Harris, is entering his fourth season with the Raiders.

Harris started 14 games last season and had three interceptions and eight passes defended. He has appeared in 51 NFL games over four seasons in addition to three pro seasons with the Hamilton Tiger Cats of the Canadian Football League.

Kush is joining his eighth NFL team since being a sixth-round draft pick of the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013. He has played in regular-season games for four of those teams, appearing in 49 with 19 starts. Kush started seven of 16 games he played for the Cleveland Browns last season.

California tied for first or won the PSAC Western Division during each of the four seasons Kush and Harris were on the roster. It won the PSAC championship in 2008 when Kush redshirted.
