At 5'9" and 220 can you really see him at LB? Maybe he is targeted for FB (add 10-20 lbs) and special teams? Looks like an aggressive and talented kid but LB seems out of reach for him.

Depends on whether he's done growing no?

Why do you say that? Don't have to be 6'2 230 to be a successful college backer.

Art, you & I both remember Nick Bounoconti: He was only 5'8".

Some people may not view Cooper as a LB, then again many people may not have thought an undersized kid from Jersey might end up as a 2-time, B1G linebacker and MVP of his mid-90s' Iowa team. If the coaches think Cooper could grow and succeed as a LB, that's enough for many Huskies' fans. Good luck to the ki

As a rule, there are not many 5'9" LB's playing at the highest level of college football. HCBD has made it real clear by his recruiting that size does matter. While he may not be done growing it would take quite a growth spurt to get into the size group Diaco is bringing in. It was just a thought.
 
Weve got plenty of size on D now in our front 7 now. If this kid can truly play MLB at 5'9" 220lbs, and we offered him a scholly, then i wouldn't be surprised to see him paying that position.
 
Bounoconti, Sam Mills, Julian Edelman, Wes Welker, Danny Woodhead, Darren Sproles, and particularly Darrell Green, Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders, among others all excel at the NFL level. On the other hand, they have notoriety, not only because they are really good at what they do, but because they also excel while being outside the norm height-wise.

I just watched Cooper's Hudl clip. I think if he shaves a bout 10 lbs. off his frame, he could make an halfway decent safety, especially in run support. That would give him the extra half a second it appears he needs to read and react. Another part of me feels that this would go a long way in maintaining a Georgia pipeline.

I was thinking hard hitting safety if he drops excess weight.

You really didn't just compare RB to LB did you?

I was commenting on perceived diminutive professional football players.

I carved out Green (who was a CB, BTW), Smith, and Sanders, because they are Hall of Famers and topped 5'-9" only with lifts in their cleats.

Any word as to why? Kids decommit for all sorts of reasons, but I wonder if it has anything to do with the new AD and Babers? Probably not
