Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
The northern WI playmaker was a quick choice when it came to who did we want to get our speed from for this RB build. Cooper has a second gear that is hard to find. When you turn on his highlights it is unfair for his opponents. Watching him quickly grow the gap between him and the defenders in pursuit is hard to believe. Cooper can get the edge on the defense and erases pursuit angles as safeties or corners try to chase him down across the field. Get this kid the ball with any sort of space and he is going to make the defense pay. That is the type of speed threat that we need from our Perfect RB Build. Duluth has a great one on the way.

Read EvaluationMark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
Cooper is an athlete who has started drawing attention from the next level. The 1,000+ yard rusher has made a few junior day visits already and should be someone to watch this summer. He provides Northwestern with an athletic threat on the ground. Cooper is able to stretch the field, find seams to attack, and when he does the explosive back puts his foot in the ground and accelerates through the line of scrimmage. Lawton plays with easy agility, juking and jump cutting gin tight quarters. Once he finds his way to the open grass we see that second gear to pull away for the big plays. Cooper is also an athlete you can target in the passing game with his soft hands. I’m expecting a big senior season after this summer of camps.
