Cooper has started to look more comfortable in his role, and that’s something I wanted to see from him this season. He has good burst and a natural feel for finding space, and when he gets into the open field, he can turn a normal play into something much bigger. The next step is consistency, but the talent is there. He’s another young Lakeland player who could see his role continue to grow as the season moves along.

Cooper looks like a more confident and purposeful runner heading into the season. He showed good burst and instincts while taking one to the house to start Lakeland’s offensive onslaught against West Broward. The recruiting interest is already beginning to build, and his upside remains high
