Justin and Joe explain how the Longhorns made up ground on Miami and Georgia for Cooper, who was once committed to the Bulldogs for about five days. Texas running back recruiting had a number of twists and turns in the 2026 class, but Cooper’s addition is a big win for Chad Scott and for the Longhorns after some swings and misses for other top backs. The film shows Cooper is a football player, and they discuss his two-way prowess and what it means for a Texas class that is climbing in the rankings.
