Jordin Harper (Class of 2031) is already making noise early in his football journey. The Prairie View Academy product earned a starting role in the final five JV games as a 7th grader, stepping up at outside linebacker and delivering big moments—highlighted by a game-clinching interception that shut down a potential game-winning drive. At 5’8”, 140 pounds, Harper is transitioning to middle linebacker for his upcoming 8th grade season, where his aggressive play style, quick reads, and ability to get to the ball stand out. With a strong work ethic built both on and off the field, he’s a young player to keep an eye on as he continues to develop into a leader and playmaker.
