Navy wide receivers coach Mick Yokitis recalled a recent practice when the offense ran a high number of plays in scrimmage situations against the defense.
Afterward, Cooper approached Yokitis with a question. One might think the rising senior wanted to know why he was not targeted one time throughout practice.
Cooper is easily the most experienced wide receiver on the Navy roster, having appeared in 33 games with 22 starts through three seasons. The 6-foot-5, 221-pounder is one of the Midshipmen’s most talented receivers during the triple-option era. He has been as productive when given a chance, averaging almost 20 yards per catch over the course of his career.
