Tristan Cooper to Arizona: 2-star safety signs with the Wildcats

The secondary was one of the weak spots for the Arizona Wildcats in 2015, but hopefully some help is on the way. One of the incoming additions to that unit is 2-star safety Tristan Cooper from Andress High School in El Paso, Texas.

Cooper had offers from Illinois, New Mexico, New Mexico State, Purdue, Texas Tech and hometown UTEP.

At 6-foot-1, Cooper does have decent size for his position, though, like most incoming freshman, he'll have to add some weight to his frame. He's also a former wide receiver, but he really impressed coaches from around the country after he made the change to safety.
