Chaminade-Madonna HS (Hollywood, FL) 4-star running back Derrek Cooper is set to announce his commitment on July 20th, with multiple schools on his trail. The Longhorns have been turning up the heat as of late, and it seemingly appears to be working according to multiple reports.
Though he's actually ranked as the No.2 ATH in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite rankings, he's going to be playing running back at the next level. He was one of the most explosive and efficient runners in the country as a junior in 2024, averaging an absurd 9.3 yards per carry on offense for the Florida 1A State Champions.
