OSU safety Thomas Harper has officially transferred out of the program after announcing his intentions to do so early last month, as the long-time defensive back announced Friday he has committed to joining Notre Dame. The Friday commitment came just days after he took an on-campus visit to the school.
Harper signed with OSU in 2019 out of Knoxville as a three-star athlete joining the program as the younger brother of OSU linebacker Devin Harper. The younger Harper played in 36 career games and twice — in 2022 and in 2020 — had 30-tackle seasons. He began his career at corner before shifting to safety the second half of his tenure.
