One of the best defensive tackles I saw in attendance today in Marshall, was Harrisburg 2027 Cooper Hodge Cooper Hodge 6'1" | 280 lbs | DL Harrisburg | 2027 State SD . Cooper boosted some of the quickest hands off the snap I saw in the defensive line group. It was his proficency he showed during the 1v1 reps that caught the bulk of my attention, as Cooper showed off brick-like hands with his strength that could draw offensive linemen off balance early as Cooper was also in tune with his pad-level. Cooper also impressed me with his ability to recover on reps, and his ability to finish reps with the skillsets I mentioned showed off the football IQ and the blue-collar work ethic you want in your defensive trenches.

Cooper is one of the most producitve defensive tackles you will find in this South Dakota 2027 class out of Harrisburg. The 6’1 280 pounder, boosts the balance you want from that DT position with great leverage at the point of attack on his first rep to showing off the agile shedding ability you want to see on the incoming clips which is why he charged up our rankings to inside the top 30. Cooper has effective length as a run-stopper that can cling to outside the A-gap on a persistent basis. I also saw upside on tape with his pad-level growing more consistent the more I was able to watch. He’s a little under the radar right now, but I expect that to change by summer.
