Malaikai Cooper is a talented OL we’ve had our eyes on recently, and he’s continuing to make a name for himself this offseason.

“Cooper is a dominant OT/OG who opened up so many big plays for James Clemens’s rushing attack last season. At 6’4 270, Cooper has great size and athleticism he uses to create key blocks on the move, consistently pulling across the line of scrimmage and working level-to-level to help pave the way for his teammates.

I’m really impressed with Cooper’s strength and leverage- he bulldozed defenders into the dirt last season and has a ton of traits that will help him continue to help him dominate the trenches.“

Cooper added a new offer from Samford this past week!

I really think the best is ahead for Cooper. He’s been seriously reliable for Hames Clemens and is starting to get the attention he deserves. We all need to keep watch.

Take a look at his film below:

I’m a huge fan of Cooper. He can do so many things well at the line of scrimmage and beyond, and has put together back-to-back years of impressive tape. Do yourself a favor and check out some of his clips below:

IOL/C projection. Smaller, but still packing on weight. Athletic, agile prospect. Highlight tape has him operating out of a zone scheme, well-equipped to do so. He is explosive out of his stance, enabling him to reach across the face of blockers and seal running lanes. He has no problem reaching the second level, too. Will have to add some play strength. Plenty of upside here. Holds UNA offer.
