Temple safety Demacio Cooper is a long, local walk-on with upside and patience in his game
In the 2026 season, Demacio Cooper is a 6-3, 180-pound junior safety from Langhorne who is competing for Temple after joining as a walk-on in 2025.[2][5] He stands out for his length, track background, and local grinder profile, and Temple lists him as a player who will compete at safety this season.[2] The catch: he has no meaningful college game log yet, so the appeal is projection, special-teams potential, and developmental upside rather than proven production.[7][8]
