“Like many in my position, my goal has always been to achieve the professional level of football,” Cooper said in a social media post. “I’ve spent much of my college career perfecting my craft and bettering myself in every way possible to be prepared for the opportunity to perform in the NFL. While I always have room to grow, I feel prepared to enter this next season of life.”
