Rickey Harper brings Texas State a veteran Texas backfield profile with proven high-school burst and captain-level intangibles
Rickey Harper’s public profile points to a rugged, team-first runner with real burst: in his high-school senior year he averaged 5.0 yards per carry before a season-ending injury, and as a junior he piled up 1,174 yards and 12 touchdowns on 193 carries while earning captain and all-district honors. The big draw is his competitive edge and durability questions, not just raw stats — he looks like a physical, high-motor fit for a program that values toughness, but any team would want to know how fully he’s bounced back from that injury.
