Jared Cooper was a sturdy, high-upside Auburn O-lineman with SEC-ready size
In Auburn’s 2011 roster, Jared Cooper was listed at 6-foot-4 and 300 pounds, giving him the kind of frame coaches love on the interior line[1]. Recruiting outlets pegged him as a committed Auburn offensive lineman out of Brewton, Alabama, with a 6-foot-4, 300-pound build and solid mid-tier prospect evaluation, signaling a player valued more for size, projection, and trench toughness than flashy star power[2][4]. If you care about him, it’s because linemen like Cooper can quietly shape a team’s identity: power, reliability, and the willingness to do the dirty work that wins SEC football[1][2].
