Cornerback Omarion Cooper made his first career start for the Seminoles last week and the true freshman made it a memorable one. Cooper secured his first interception by fighting off Miami receiver Mike Harley in the first quarter.
“The interception was a huge play,” said Norvell. “When you’re a true freshman, you’re out there on an island and you’re going to get targeted. For him to respond that way with the PBUs [pass breakups] and the mentality that he took throughout that game, it was special.”
The 6-0, 180-pound defensive back first arrived in Tallahassee as part of FSU’s 2021 recruiting class.
