Jacob Cooper is Virginia State’s steady, clutch floor general
In the 2025-26 season, Virginia State senior guard Jacob Cooper has been the Trojans’ engine, averaging 14.4 points per game and leading the team in scoring while also filling the box score with 5.8 assists per game last season and big-moment production in tournament play. He’s a low-turnover tempo controller with a strong free-throw touch, toughness, and a reputation for calming chaos when games get spicy. At 5-foot-8, he wins with poise, pace, and leadership rather than flash — which is exactly why coaches love him and opponents hate guarding him.
