Meet Kelly Harper, the doctor behind the Lone Star alumni playing college football
Frisco Lone Star academic advisor and recruiting coordinator Kelly Harper has helped numerous athletes, including former Oklahoma wide receiver Marvin Mims, get to college since she took on her volunteer role in 2016.
There is a board proudly displayed in Frisco Lone Star’s field house listing all the alumni who’ve graduated to play college football. It’s running out of open slots.
Behind each of the 47 names from the Class of 2018 onward is a story of Dr. Kelly Harper, Lone Star’s academic advisor and recruiting coordinator, bending backward to help them reach the next level. Take former Oklahoma wide receiver Marvin Mims. Mims etched his name into the Texas high school record books his senior year in 2019 when he compiled 2,629 receiving yards and 32 touchdowns. Then he enrolled at Oklahoma in January, enjoyed a stellar career, and now plays for the Denver Broncos. Bing, bang, boom.
