Cooper on NYU

Chose NYU because “I was recruited during the strict COVID era, which only allowed me to talk to Coach Tyler and one other teammate. Just from one call, I knew I wanted to come here. When I visited, the excitement and support from Coach Tyler solidified that decision. The city was also a factor, as living in New York is a pure fever dream.”
