versatile Notre Dame safety who brings NFL-ready toughness
Thomas Harper’s Notre Dame season in 2023 showed a tone-setting defender: in 11 games with 10 starts, he logged 39 tackles, 6 tackles for loss, 2 sacks and 3 pass breakups, a stat line that screams disruptive hybrid safety/nickel value[4][10]. Scouts and team notes highlighted him as a starting nickel option because of his physicality, versatility and willingness to trigger downhill, while his college production hints at a player who can fit a defense that wants an aggressive, multi-role back-end chess piece[7][15].
