Five-stars visiting Texas A&M football this weekend: Derrek Cooper

Derrek Cooper, an athlete from Florida, is coming in for this game as well. Cooper plays both running back and safety, and the Aggies could certainly use either.

This is another player for whom this game will be something of a formal introduction to A&M, the 12th Man, and the power of Kyle Field. Cooper hasn't been a staple in College Station like some of the other 2026 prospects on this list, but hopefully he will be after this game.

Cooper is an athlete who has earned every single bit of that five-star rating. Getting on his radar in a big way would be a huge move for Texas A&M football.
