Physical Mercer defensive back with proven tackling production
Buck Cooper is a senior **defensive back/cornerback** at Mercer with a sturdy **6'0", 180-pound** frame and a track record of production dating back to a standout high-school career, where he posted **90 tackles, 1 sack, and 2 interceptions** in the 2025-26 season.[1][2][7] The clearest differentiator is his willingness to finish plays and contribute in the run game, which fits a team looking for a physical, dependable secondary piece rather than just a cover-only specialist.[1][2] Publicly available college stat detail is limited, so current evaluation leans more on roster status, size, and prior production than on a deep Mercer game-log sample.[1][3][7]
