Cooper had been on track to play college football as a wide receiver at Ole Miss until he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, a condition that ultimately ended his football career.

“I’ve seen enough, we’re winning the national championship next season.” A fan said.
“Looking forward to 2025….hookem….” Another fan posted.
One fan commented, “Arch is going to lead Texas to a National Championship and his legacy at Texas will be remembered for decades to come.”
“Heisman season loading…” Another fan noted.
