William Percival "Percy" Harvin III was born in Virginia Beach, Virginia, on born May 28, 1988.

Percy was a football standout, winning the Pop Warner National Championship in 2001, and leading Landstown High School to the State Championship in 2004 (and losing in the finals in both 2003 and 2005) with 476 all purpose yards.
