HARPER'S DRAFT PROFILE

Harper led the Alcorn football team with a 7-5, 6-2 SWAC record in the 2021 regular season. He was No. 3 in the SWAC by completing 204 of 334 passes for 2,489 yards, 20 passing touchdowns, five interceptions, and a 147.1 QB rating.

Emory Hunt of Football Gameplan's analysis of Felix Harper:

Strengths:

A pure Point Guard type passer. Shows tremendous ability as a distributor and facilitator.
Above-average field vision; does a great job of quickly identifying coverage & quickly able to find the best option.
Strong accuracy in the short-to-intermediate area of the field.
Lefty with a quick, compact delivery and is able to show some zip on his passes.
A+ Athleticism. Asset in the QB run game, but more as last resort. Very good pocket mobility; unfazed by pressure.

Areas of Improvement:

Generously listed at 180lbs. He’ll definitely need a year of pro strength & conditioning.
Pure arm strength is average. It isn’t ‘weak’, but driving the s will be more anticipation than arm strength.
