Promising Young WR Finding His Footing at Columbia
A true freshman from Pasadena, California, Cooper recorded 2 receptions for 71 yards across 4 games in the 2025 season at Columbia, showcasing elite efficiency with a 35.5 yards-per-catch average. The Notre Dame High School product was a First Team All-League selection and CIF Southern Section Academic Athlete of the Year, demonstrating both on-field talent and academic rigor. While his limited 2025 production reflects Columbia's struggling 1-6 season, Cooper's high yards-per-reception rate and standout high school pedigree—including multiple 100-yard receiving games—suggest significant upside as he develops within the program. His combination of athleticism, academic credentials, and early efficiency metrics makes him an intriguing prospect for programs seeking a receiver with room to grow.
