This year has been a lot of the same for Octavious Cooley: show up, show out, go home, repeat. The four-star tight end from Laurel, Miss. has been about as steady as can be for the Tornadoes and last week was no different. In a game against the Brookhaven (Miss.) Panthers that saw Laurel dominate to the tune of 62-14, Cooley ended his night with six catches for 132 yards and three touchdowns.
The big man from the 'Sip is a matchup nightmare for safeties and even linebackers as Cooley uses every bit of his 6'2, 235-pound frame to shield defenders away from the football and snag footballs like he's grabbing a cereal box off the top of the fridge.
