A Division II mauler with an enormous frame who earned his way to the Shrine Bowl as the only DII player on the roster — and held his own. Cooper's best path to an NFL roster is as a guard, where his functional strength, low pad level, and anchor can compensate for short arms (31 5/8 inches) and limited athletic upside that will get exposed on the outside against NFL speed rushers. The competition-level leap is massive, but the fact that he wasn't physically overwhelmed against FBS linemen at the Shrine Bowl is a legitimate data point. He's a long-shot practice squad candidate whose character, durability, and willingness to grind may keep him in a building longer than pure talent suggests.

• 🏋️Massive frame at 6-6/6-7, 330 with the size NFL teams covet on the interior offensive line
• 🏋️Functional strength at the point of attack — was not physically dominated against FBS competition at the Shrine Bowl
• 🦬Outstanding pad level for his size; gets low and holds his base, making him difficult to bull rush
• 👑Elite durability and toughness — started 38 consecutive games across three seasons without missing a start despite playing through injuries
• 👑Exceptional character and leadership; turned down Power 4 NIL offers out of loyalty to his program, which coaches and scouts respect

• 💥Below-average arm length (31 5/8 inches) for an NFL tackle; will almost certainly need to move to guard
• 💨Limited athletic profile — evaluators flagged him as lacking twitch, burst, and lateral agility needed for NFL tackle play
• 👁️Division II competition level leaves massive uncertainty about whether any traits translate against elite NFL pass rushers
• 🤲Small hands (10 1/4 inches) compound the short-arm concern and limit his ability to latch onto and control defenders at the second level
