Mike Norvell and the Florida State Seminoles landed a commitment from a cornerback recruit today with DaYon Cooper announcing that he\u2019s joining #Tribe27.<\/p>\n
Cooper is a 6-0, 180-pound athlete from South Pittsburgh High School in Tennessee. He\u2019s considered a 3-star by the 247 Composite and the 535th-best player in the nation (36th-best athlete, 25th-best player in Tenn.). FSU is recruiting him specifically at cornerback.<\/p>\n
Cooper also holds offers from the hometown Tennessee Volunteers and other programs such as Texas A&M, Arkansas, Louisville, Maryland, and Vanderbilt.<\/p>\n
Cooper plays on both sides of the ball and was named the 2025 Tennessee Division 1A Mr. Football after a junior campaign in which he accumulated 1,252 yards of offense and 17 touchdowns. He also placed fifth at TSSAA Division 1-A state championship in the long jump as a 10th-grader.<\/p>\n
The coaching staff loves his athleticism. Cooper has the ability to flip his hips and stick to his man in coverage and he can hold his own in 50-50 ball situations. This is a solid pickup at a position with a mediocre board. I think Cooper can sneak into low 4-star territory with a strong senior campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mike Norvell and the Florida State Seminoles landed a commitment from a cornerback recruit today with DaYon Cooper…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":854526,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[10867,68237,7,49,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-854525","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-florida-state-football","9":"tag-florida-state-football-recruiting","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-ncaa","12":"tag-ncaa-football"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116350099398551369","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=854525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/854525\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/854526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=854525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=854525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=854525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
