Aaron Cooper brings proven linebacker pedigree and veteran toughness to North Dakota
Aaron Cooper, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound linebacker from Lancaster, California, arrived at North Dakota after starting every game over three seasons at Cal Poly, where he showed real playmaking juice with 39 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, a pick and a forced fumble in his final season there. His best differentiators are experience, downhill urgency and versatility — the kind of veteran defender who can finish plays, disrupt in the backfield and bring a steady, physical edge to a defense. If you want a linebacker who has already proved he can handle a full workload and make impact snaps, Cooper is a legitimate fit.
