Dylan Harper

Dylan Harper is headed to Rutgers in the fall, but he continues to dominate the high school space after a strong showing at the McDonald’s All-American game. No matter what the drill was, Harper was often leading the way. Harper showed a high IQ as he consistently made the right play. Harper simply plays at a different speed, takes what the defense gives him, and sprinkles in flair and creativity when needed.

What stood out the most, though, was Harper’s defense. Harper has good positional size and is extremely strong. His ability to combine that strength with stellar instincts, terrific footwork, and desire makes him one of the most fascinating prospects in this class.
