Florida 5-Star RB makes plans to officially visit Alabama

Cooper attends Chaminade-Madonna High School in Hollywood, Florida, and he is a 2026 five-star recruit. The Florida prospect also plans to officially visit Aubun, Miami and Ohio State. The Crimson Tide will get on campus on the weekend of June 6.

Alabama hosted Cooper during the 2024 football season and remained in constant contact with him.

“It’s been frequently consistent, like every day I talk to them coaches,” Cooper previously said when discussing contact with the Tide. “They really want me.”

The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder is an explosive running back, who holds a PR of 10.7 in the 100-meter dash. He flashes an ability to be dynamic in the run and pass game.
