Name: Curtis Harper
Position: Defensive Tackle
Year: Redshirt Junior
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 292
Hometown: McKeesport, Pa.
High School: McKeesport
2019 stats: In 11 games, Harper racked up 13 tackles and two sacks with his best game coming against Boston College when he totaled 4 tackles. Off the field, Harper made the ACC Honor Roll and was a member of the Fall 2019 SU Athletic Director’s Honor Roll.
2020 projections: Harper should factor in along the defensive front, but probably won’t end up as one of the 3 starters. That said, the new 3-3-5 system means that everyone gets a fresh chance to prove the new system works best for them, and Harper’s size is promising for the defensive tackle position.
How’d he get here?: By picking the Orange over inferior oranges like Bowling Green along with UConn and Maryland.
What’d recruiting sites say?: 3 Stars all the way around.

What movie would Dino recommend for him?: Harper seems like a funny guy, so I’m going with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, a funny superhero movie starting Kurt Russell as the antagonist Ego.
Interesting nugget o’interest: Curtis is related to 2012 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Curtis Martin, who played running back in the NFL for 11 seasons for the New England Patriots (1995-97) and New York Jets (1998-2005), and continues to grow the continent of Western PA players on the team.
