The Nashville, Tennessee native played one year on the Hill after transferring from Lipscomb. 

Cooper averaged 2.6 points per game and played 367 minutes in a Hilltopper uniform during the 2020-21 season. 

Coopers highest point total was nine against Houston back on Feb. 25 this season as the Hilltoppers lost 81-57. 

Now Cooper will look elsewhere to further his collegiate career as a graduate student.
