Expert Analysis
Ed OBrien | Prep Redzone Scout
Copeland made six tackles, forced one fumble, returned one fumble, broke up two passes, and scored a touchdown in his team’s 15-0 win over Frederick Douglass in Week 1. His highlights start with a momentum-changing play on his team’s 10-yard line. Frederick Douglass attempts a field goal, but the ball is snapped over the holder’s head. Copeland not only picks the football back, but he runs it back for a touchdown. He also has a few plays in pass coverage from his cornerback position. Copeland makes pass breakups on both intermediate (post) and short (fade ball in the red zone). There’s also a run play where he comes up, sets the edge, and makes a physical tackle. He impacted the game in coverage, setting the outside edge and making a big special teams play. Copeland’s ball skills, coverage, and run support abilities were on display this game.
