With a skill set that blends three-level scoring, elite court vision, and a defensive mindset that thrives on creating chaos, he is a true two-way threat.

Averaging 18 points, 6 assists, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals per game, Cooper’s all-around contributions are key to his team’s success.

Cooper's goals include minimizing turnovers, dominating defensively, and building chemistry to secure a top-3 finish.
What fires Cooper’s intensity is the thrill of high-stakes moments. Locking down top players, making a clutch stop, or throwing down a fast-break dunk are the sparks that light his fire. The roar of the crowd and the challenge of shutting down opponents push Cooper to deliver his best. When adversity strikes, Cooper relies on composure and focus, reminding himself to control what he can and trust his work. The best advice he’s received—“Focus on what you can control and always show up with your best effort”—is a principle he lives by both on and off the court.
Off the court, Cooper’s passion for golf, skiing, and time with friends offers balance and a refreshing change of pace. As he looks toward college, Cooper is set on becoming a DI or II athlete. Cooper’s athleticism, defensive versatility, and ability to play multiple roles as a 6’3” point guard make him a standout prospect. While Cooper has no offers yet, Cooper’s dedication to hard work, skill development, and exposure positions him for success at the next level.
Cooper brings an explosive combination of athleticism, skill, and tenacity to the game. Cooper's court vision and defensive dominance translate directly to the collegiate level, where his ability to guard multiple positions and create scoring opportunities will be a tremendous asset. Continued development in decision-making under pressure and seizing fast-break opportunities will elevate Cooper's potential to lead at a higher level. With his electric energy and relentless work ethic, Cooper has all the tools to make an immediate impact in a college program.
