Hamilton Southeastern | 2026

stood out at the Lone Star Cup as one of the most dynamic defensive athletes in the event, pairing a big frame with smooth footwork and unusual poise for his age. Representing Hamilton Southeastern (Ind), he consistently won matchups against top offensive threats by staying patient, reading hips, and using his length to take away space before attacks could develop. His ability to turn defensive stops into instant transition — clearing cleanly, accelerating into open space, and making smart decisions under pressure — separated him from most poles in the showcase. With continued strength gains and exposure to high-level competition, Cooper projects as a next-level LSM/close defender who has the tools, IQ, and presence to anchor a collegiate defensive unit.
