Harles was a force on the defensive side of the ball for the Fighting Sioux, striking fear into whoever he lined up against.
 
He totaled 13.5 sacks over his four seasons with UND, which placed him second in program history at the time of his graduation and remained in the top-10 for over three decades after his playing career was finished. Harles earned multiple All-NCC selections and was selected as an All-America First Team honoree as a senior.
 
Harles helped the Sioux total four straight winning seasons, including a decade-high eight victories in 1984.
