At Basha High School, Harper was named to All-State First-Team in 2019 and was named to Arizona 6A Premier Region First-Team and All-CUSD First-Team in both 2018 and 2019.

Harper started his collegiate career strong. In his first game against Troy, he posted seven tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss.

He would go on to make 25 total tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and one fumble recovery in 2020.

Harper was BYU’s third-leading tackler in 2022. He recorded 62 tackles (35 solo), 2.5 tackles for loss, three pass breakups, and two forced fumbles.

Last season, Harper was a medical redshirt after suffering an ACL injury during fall camp.

Harper’s father played football for Hawaii in the 1990s.
