Oklahoma sophomore quarterback Kendal Thompson received the endorsement of Washington Nationals superstar Bryce Harper during Saturday's 36-20 loss to Texas.

“Put KENDAL THOMPSON in! Give him a shot!” Harper tweeted during the Red River Rivalry game as Blake Bell struggled through his worst game yet as starting quarterback

Thompson and Harper played on the same summer baseball team for two years, and played against each other one year, spanning from when Thompson was 12-14 years old.

The two remain close friends and speak often.
