Cooper on NYU
  • Chose NYU because “I was recruited during the Covid era, so I was only allowed to talk to Coach Tyler and one other teammate, and just from one call I knew I wanted to come here. When I got to visit, the amount of excitement and support Coach Tyler showed solidified that decision. The city was also a factor, as living in New York is a dream.”
