STILLWATER — Devin Harper has bided his time behind the likes of Devante Averette, Chad Whitener, Justin Phillips and Amen Ogbongbemiga. He has battled through foot and shoulder injuries. But entering his sixth year, it’s finally his turn.
After redshirting in 2016 and taking an extra year because of the pandemic, Harper enters 2021 as an Oklahoma State starting linebacker. In Harper’s time as a Cowboy, the transfer portal became popular. It would’ve been easy for a kid from Tennessee who has battled through injuries to hop in it, but he stuck it out.
“It’s been a process, but I mean, it’s always gonna be a process,” Harper said Sunday.
