Jackson Cooper brings a bigger leg than the box score shows
In the 2025 season, Lamar listed Jackson Cooper as a freshman K/P at 5-foot-11, 172 pounds, and his high-school résumé points to real special-teams juice: a 59.5-yard kickoff average, 34.4 yards per punt, five punts downed inside the 20, and a long of 59 yards. Lamar’s 2025 specialists preview also showed he was in a four-way competition for the punting job, so he’s more of a developmental fit than an instant-stat monster right now—but the upside is a reliable leg with clear field-position value if his consistency keeps climbing.
