Jonathon Cooper’s career at Ohio State hasn’t necessarily gone exactly the way he thought it would so far, but he still knows how lucky he is to be in the position he’s in.
As a kid growing up in Gahanna, Ohio, just northeast of Columbus, Cooper dreamed of playing football for Ohio State. Now, he’s entering his senior season as a second-year starter at defensive end for the Buckeyes, and is poised to be one of the team’s top leaders this fall.
Many kids in Central Ohio, throughout the state and the entire country dream of having those opportunities, but few actually get the chance to live them out.
