College coaches have been flooding St. Louis (Mo.) Trinity Catholic’s halls and practice fields for the better part of three years now. The Titans have several major recruits in the 2019 class, but a common response coaches had when visiting the school to watch Illinois commit Isaiah Williams or blue-chip wide receiver Marcus Washington was, “who in the world is No. 5?”
That would be Teriyon “Mookie” Cooper (5-9, 178 pounds). a class of 2020 running back who is one of the most explosive running backs in the Midwest and, potentially, the entire country. Trinity Catholic’s staff has said college coaches wondered if his highlight tape was sped up, only to come see him in person and have that question answered.
