Cooper says he is on a quest to become the #1 player in America, and will be participating at camps with the most talent all Spring and Summer. That's why he signed up for the Rivals Atlanta camp on March 21st.

From Rivals: Performance: Cooper started the day by running an impressive 4.62 40-yard dash during the testing phase of the event. He ended with a defensive line MVP award after an impressive one-on-one session with the offensive linemen. Now up to 225 pounds, the 6-foot-3 Cooper still looks like a linebacker prospect physically, but he certainly has no problem at the point of attack. His specialty is the outside speed rush, though, where his explosive get-off is coupled with great agility and makes him a very difficult block.
From 247sports: The Top247 defensive end and Ohio State commit out of Columbus (Ohio) Gahanna Lincoln lined up on the inside a decent amount which was nice because he was going up against the best offensive linemen of the event and he still managed to have a lot of success because of his speed and quickness. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Cooper was clearly the defensive linemen that possessed the most twitch off the snap. The Buckeyes pledge told 247Sports that OSU told him he could play that defensive end/outside linebacker hybrid role in Columbus. The future Buckeye, Cooper, blew the offensive linemen away with his first step. It was so deadly, there were times he was on the offensive lineman’s heels before they were even out of their stance.
