Expert Analysis

Paul Gregorian

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Cooper was one of the top centers across Southern California for the past several seasons and is a true interior mauler with elite first step quickness, punch off the ball and is a nasty finisher at the first and second level. He gets off the ball quickly with natural bend and good ankle flexibility in his stance and shows he can combo to the second level while taking the proper angles to linebackers and moves extremely well for his size. The 2025 prospect signed with Alcorn State and is another kid that was under-recruited through out his prep career.

Read Evaluation

Michael Huntley

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Both offensive line coaches at the camp selected Cooper as the MVP and were baffled that he has not received more recruiting attention.

He earned All-Baseline League honors last season and has a college level frame.

Cooper gets off the ball quickly as an interior lineman and does a good job getting his hands on the defender before the defender can get his hands on him.

He has a strong initial punch and when he does get pushed back, he has the strength to recover without leaning forward. Cooper has been active on the camp circuit this offseason and I think he can play on the interior at the next level.
