Josh Cooper brings veteran, playmaking ballhawk energy to Furman’s secondary
Josh Cooper is a seasoned Furman safety whose defining trait is playmaking: in the 2001 season, he delivered an 85-yard fumble return touchdown against VMI, showing the kind of burst and instinct that changes games in a flash. He was also described by Furman coaches as a smart, intelligent defensive back and one of the most improved players in spring work, which points to strong prep habits and coach trust. If you want a safety who reads fast, tackles with purpose, and can flip momentum, he’s a fit.
