Micah Harper - BYU safety commits!
- Thread starter HookedonGriz
- Start date
Was a 3 star out of HS with offers all over the Mountain West
Was a pretty solid player for BYU, but injuries really derailed his career.
This is the type of high ceiling-high floor guy that can make a huge difference on our team.

One thing I really like about this is that analytics are showing that that athletic performance often doesn't return to peak until two years after successful ACL surgery. He has every opportunity to return to form.

"Harper’s 2024 season with the BYU football program
The 5-foot-10, 195-pound Harper was BYU’s week one starter at nickel/safety to begin the 2024 season.
Harper worked his way back from an ACL injury in August 2023, which caused him to miss the entire 2023 season. He was projected to be one of the top players at the nickel spot for BYU entering the 2024 campaign.
Harper got dinged up early in the season, causing him to miss the Wyoming game in week three. After the September 28 game against Baylor, where he played in 21 snaps, he didn’t reach 20 snaps in another game the remainder of the year.
Harper’s best season at BYU was in 2022, where he recorded 62 tackles, three tackles for loss, three pass deflections, and two forced fumbles.
A hard-hitting defensive back who can play safety or cornerback, Harper garnered comparisons to former BYU defensive back Dayan Lake when he signed with the Cougars in the 2020 recruiting class."
Great comparison to the stat line of Fouch from 2022, who had 52 tackles, five tackles for loss, five pass break ups, and one forced fumble. Seems like we might have found a great guy to fill that role. He's a little smaller, but might be a guy that really plays a big role this year.

What an incredible get for the Griz!
Hopefully the coaching staff has been shoring up the defensive front to let this secondary cook!

Oh snap, I for some reason thought he only had one year left, but he has two, this is incredible!
This guy right here is the crown jewel of this transfer class! If he can return to his 22 levels, then the Griz really have something with this guy!
