Summary

Cooper is from Odebolt, Iowa. After absolutely dominating high school sports in Iowa, including being a star in Football, Basketball, and Track, he chose Iowa Football as his future. He played Quarterback in high school and wanted to in college as well, and he talks about the reason he ended up on the Defense. As Iowa fans know, Cooper established himself as one of the greatest all around athletes for Iowa Football in the history of the program. He's now been training for the 2024 NFL draft after declaring early back in January. He will likely be a 1st round pick, and he talks about how crazy it is coming from small town Iowa to be thrust onto the big stage. We talk about the injury that ended last years season early for him, the opportunity for him to play Offense for a few plays, and what his Combine training has looked like so far. We hit a ton of other fun topics as well.If you love the show and want to show support, tell your friends!
