STILLWATER — Way back in the spring of 2019, Mike Gundy name dropped an early enrollee corner as someone who was standing out on the practice field.
It was Thomas Harper, younger brother of former OSU linebacker Devin Harper. Gundy’s praise was notable because it isn’t too often he singles players out.
“Thomas has made a few plays out here that are pretty impressive for a high school player because he’s supposed to be in high school now,” Gundy said back then. “He’s competing out here and has made some plays. I don’t see that he’s really scared of anybody out here and his physical ability makes it seem like he’s gonna have a chance to maybe compete earlier than other people.
