Together at Grassfield, the duo carried the rushing load, yet Harper only had three games with double digit carries and Lowe had none. They’re “low mileage” backs. Harper had an average yards per carry of over nine while Lowe topped six. After Saturday’s one campus visit, there’s a possibility that the pair could end up in college together.

Despite missing a head coach and a winning program, James Scott is hitting the trail for college visits and camps in an effort to get noticed.
