Ball State LB Drew Harper brings upside, size, and untapped snap value
Drew Harper is a redshirt sophomore linebacker for Ball State in 2026, listed at 6-0, 207, with a strong high-school resume that included 51 tackles and 8.5 sacks as a senior at Avonworth, plus some offensive production—a nice hint of athletic versatility. His college stat line is still basically empty, so the real story is projection: he’s a developing, downhill linebacker with power-program prep pedigree from IMG Academy and enough length/edge juice to merit attention as a fit for special teams and depth if a staff wants upside over instant production.
