TIGER RAG NEWS SERVICES
LSU sophomore offensive tackle/guard Devin Harper is back at his first choice.
Harper (6-foot-4, 312 pounds) committed to the Tigers on Jan. 30, 2024, as the No. 3 player in Louisiana and No. 7 interior offensive lineman in the country from Shreveport after LSU offered him a scholarship on Jan. 15. He played his first three seasons in high school at Captain Shreve before a transfer to Calvary Baptist.
LSU FOOTBALL COMPLETE 2026 ROSTER
After his official visit to LSU on Oct. 4, 2024, however, he decommitted on Nov. 16 and committed to Ole Miss and then-coach Lane Kiffin on the same day. The No. 131 prospect in the nation overall, Harper received offers from Texas, USC, Penn State, Michigan State, Florida, Florida State, TCU, Missouri, Houston and SMU, among others.
Harper played in six games as a backup for the Rebels in 2025, logging 72 snaps – 57 at right tackle and seven at left tackle. After Kiffin transferred, so to speak, to LSU after the regular season, Harper followed him to the Tigers.
He played guard in the spring and enters August practices as the No. 2 left guard behind fifth-year senior Bo Bordelon, but he can also play tackle.
TIGER RAG SCOUTING REPORT: A thick, versatile lineman who can shift spots along the line. An elite run blocker and physical tone-setter who will be a top backup, if not a starter this season.
