Missouri's Explosive Slot WR Cut Short by Season-Ender
Mookie Cooper, Missouri's 5-9 senior slot receiver, erupted in 2024 with 12 catches for 235 yards (19.6 avg) and a 78-yard career-long before season-ending surgery in late November derailed his breakout[1][2][4]. His **explosive burst, long speed, and elusiveness** make him a defender's nightmare in the slot, consistently snagging 2+ receptions in 22 career games while playing 1,727 snaps over four Mizzou seasons post-Ohio State[2][8]. Care about him for his big-play upside and reliability—perfect fit for teams needing a quick, savvy WR2 who thrives in high-intensity SEC battles, injury recovery pending.
