Back to the Washington State Cougars Newsfeed

CB Sean Harper re-commits to WSU after signing with Cougars two years ago but detouring to JuCo

Cornerback Sean Harper signed with Washington State in February 2015 out of Hart County (Hartwell, Ga.) High, but never actually joined the Cougars on campus because of low test scores, and ended up enrolling at Holmes Community College in Mississippi.

In the college football recruiting world, it’s extremely rare for a non-academic qualifying signee who hits the junior college circuit to end up back at the school he originally signed at out of high school.

But that’s exactly what happened Wednesday morning when Harper committed to WSU for the second time in two years.

In an interview with The Seattle Times Wednesday afternoon, Harper (6-2, 188 pounds) said he came back to the Cougars because of the loyalty they showed him throughout his stint in junior college.
