STILLWATER — The Cowboy coaching staff seems to have struck a gem with Thomas Harper.
Harper, the younger brother of Oklahoma State linebacker Devin Harper, enrolled early this spring and has caught many the attention of OSU’s coaching staff. Gundy named dropped the 5-foot-11, 175-pound corner in the spring, and defensive coordinator Jim Knowles and corners’ coach Tim Duffie brought him up at Monday’s media golf outing.
Harper was labeled an athlete out of Karns High School in Knoxville, Tennessee, and he wan’t all that highly recruited. At the end of January, Harper was the 2,680th-ranked prospect in the country.
