Austin Cooper '17 Recruiting Profile

In the coming years before college comes around the bend, I plan to accomplish many things that I have been dreaming of for the last couple of years. One of these is to become more physically flexible than I am. I would also like to achieve a 3.5 GPA or higher by the end of this school year. Another goal is to kick a 60-yard field goal (only 8 more yards needed)!

What I can offer to a team is a true team player. Always being involved in sports in one way or another for the past 10 years, I have learned how to gain trust from coaches and players not only with my foot, but by being an uplifting person on and off the field.

I believe I am different that other recruits in that I am not just playing for myself but for the whole team. In the athletics part of things I am able to do almost everything the team does. So, I am not a “baby” kicker. If the team has to do something, I am there.
