About Cooper
Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
Lester is getting run as a sophomore skill position player in a program that’s very good at developing them. He stood out to me when watching Liberty in the 2025 season-opener against Cedar Falls and again in seeing the Lighting face Waukee in the first round of the postseason. Lester brings a little more size to the table compared to some current and former standouts at the school. It’s also a frame capable of filling out more and adding strength without the loss of speed and athleticism. His recruiting stock should be increased by his versatility, which has allowed him to contribute running the ball, catching it, defending the pass and in supporting the run. Lester also has flashed potential in the return game. It feels like he’s just scratching the surface of what he can be, which should be exciting for prospective college programs.
