Cooper Babin brings dual-threat upside to Nicholls’ QB room
Cooper Babin is a freshman quarterback at Nicholls in the 2026 season, listed at 6-foot, 180 pounds, with a strong high-school résumé that included 3,697 total yards and 40 touchdowns as a senior at St. Amant. He’s intriguing because of his dual-threat profile—he threw for 2,428 yards and 19 touchdowns while adding 1,268 rushing yards and 21 scores in one prep season—so he can stress defenses with both arm talent and mobility. The big question is polish and transition speed, but the athletic ceiling is real.
