Cooper rushed for 263 yards in the 27-13 win over Northeastern State this past week in Hays. He earned MIAA AstroTurf Offensive Athlete of the Week honors for the second consecutive week for his efforts.

His 93-yard touchdown run with 2:19 remaining in the game broke a 13-13 tie. It was a new career-high for Cooper, who has now rushed for over 100 yards in five of his six career games at running back. The 263 rushing yards were fourth-most in a single game in FHSU history. He averaged 9.1 yards per carry in the game. He also added 22 receiving yards to finish with 285 all-purpose yards on the night.
