Elite LB with 3 INTs, 2 Sacks, and a Killer Linebacker Mentality
Tarik Cooper, Texas Southern’s #44 linebacker, stands out with 31 solo tackles, 3 interceptions, 2 sacks, and 1 forced fumble in the 2025 season. Beyond stats, Cooper brings a relentless, high-intensity mindset—he’s known for his aggressive pursuit, sharp instincts, and a ‘never-back-down’ mentality that elevates the entire defense. As a JuCo transfer who beat out a returning starter, he’s battle-tested and hungry. With no major injury history and a leadership presence, Cooper is a perfect fit for any team seeking a physical, intelligent, and driven linebacker who thrives in the trenches and makes game-changing plays.
