Some day college football players will learn not everything needs to be shared to the public. Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones found that out, as you may have heard by now, but things turned out OK for him. Maybe Penn State sophomore safety Bryant Harper will learn a lesson after being publicly scorned by his head coach on Twitter.
On Monday, Harper took to Twitter to boast about a B he received on a recent anatomy exam.
B on my first anatomy exam and I didn’t study I’ll take it

Penn State head coach James Franklin, known to be fluent with Twitter, saw the tweet from his player (or had somebody point it out to him), and responded…
@HarperJR21 you didn’t study huh, interesting, guess I need to up your study hall hours! We don’t settle for B’s! — James Franklin (@coachjfranklin) January 26, 2015
Who knows just how serious Franklin was about the Twitter comment, but if nothing else a lesson should be learned by all college football players. What you put on Twitter (or Facebook or Instagram) will have someone watching, so be careful what you share! Harper was reminded of the Penn State philosophy of Success With Honor by way of some public humiliation from his head coach. Harper took this lesson in stride, and odds are he will not be bragging about any B‘s anytime soon.
Hey I’m not perfect, with that being said thanks for the positive and negative feed back I love all you guys! #iloveyoumoment @ochocinco
