Draft Scouting Report
Pro Comparison: Luther Burden III
Summary
Omar Cooper Jr. is a pre–Curt Cignetti Indiana recruit who flourished in the new coaching staff’s offense. In 2024, he primarily played outside, averaging more than 21 yards per reception, and in 2025 he shifted into a slot-heavy role. That diverse usage showcased one of the more well-rounded receivers in the class and should serve him well at the next level.
About
- 2025: Tied for third in FBS in receiving TD (13)
- 2024: Led Big Ten in yards per reception (21.2)
Strengths
- Sudden mover who creates big windows out of breaks.
- Running-back build that absorbs contact post-catch and stays on his feet.
- Reliable hands over the middle of the field (4.2% career drop rate).
Weaknesses
- Limited production (58.6 yards per game in 2025).
- Heavy schemed usage with many screen and RPO touches.
- Smaller wingspan limits catch radius.
Combine Data
- 40-yard dash: 4.42 seconds
- Vertical jump: 37 inches
