'14 TN OL Akeem Cooperwood

[Titans4Vols]

Doesn't look like he's all fat. Man...6'7, 320....people thought I was big as a freshman, 6'3, 250...My goodness, that's incredible. It's not impossible to think he'll be 6'10, 350...

Just 3 inches in 4 years? He's gonna be bigger than 6'10. Probably 7' before it's all said and done, good possibility of being even bigger, unless he just hit his biggest growth spurt extremely early.

If he get any taller than 6'8", I don't think football is going to be his sport, which isn't unlikely. He could be a heavier Glen "Big Baby" Davis. If you're 6'9"+, playing football will be tough.

Eh, Jonathan Ogden is 6'9..of course, Ogden is an extremely rare case, but it's possible.

But it's unbelievable to think this kid is already as big as Orlando Pace at the age of 14, and would probably be one of the tallest LT in the SEC, if not the country.

I feel bad for him more than anything though..there's a high chance he gets health problems. Hopefully he turns out like Shaq, an extremely big guy who stays remotely healthy.

Named High School Freshman All American

With the nickname "Blind Side" due to his physical comparisons to Michael Oher, Cooperwood stood out on an already-huge offensive line for Fulton.

Lonsdale isn't exactly ideal living conditions.

Nowhere near as bad as it was back in the mid-late 90's.

I've known about these boys for a while. I can understand the uproar about the 6'7" kid. He's gonna be the real deal. But I've yet to hear anyone mention the WR. I've worked with his uncle for almost 10 yrs, followed the boy since he was in youth football. He will be the real deal as well. These are 2 future Vols. Really no 2 ways about it. Only injury will stop them from being Vols.

Was at practice today

 

[mooreaj21]

Measured in at 6'6 330 today at the Devinner combine in Nashville. To add, he is 15 yrs old.

 

[Sabanocchio]

Wow. Big kid. Just hope he can move well.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I hope he stops growing because eventually he'll reach a point where he's too big.

 

[mooreaj21]

JB said he was suprisingly very athletic today.

 

[mooreaj21]

LOVES the Vols.....but is trying to keep an open mind.....getting invites to alot of elite camps/combines as a freshman.......is gonna camp at Tennessee, UGA, Kentucky

Has gotten invites to LSU, Ole Miss, TCU as well......................

but I got the feeling that whenever Tennessee offers he would commit....he is gonna have two dozen + offers....

Anyone else get the feeling '14 will be a monster class?

 

[Vol2424]

I might have him mixed up with another player , but doesn't his mother work for UT?

 

[Vol2424]

Ah , I see it in the first post. NM

 

[Vols_Fanatic518]

I think '13 is going to be the monster class

 

[flowd82]

He was at practice last week or the week before. He is a monster. Just, an absolute massive human.

Yes, IIRC his mom works in the cafeteria at Gibbs Hall.

 

[Vol2424]

Yes, IIRC his mom works in the cafeteria at Gibbs Hall.

Thanks for the info. She must be bringing home some extra biscuits to Akeem.

Yeah '13 too. But I can't remember ever having so many great players as virtual locks, this early, as the '14 class seems have. Future looks bright.:dance:

 

[mooreaj21]

This kid will be the perfect NT for us.

Good thing Cooperwood wont be a OL for us, he would be a DT.

 

[VOLFREAK11]

Well he is also 14 years old, he can be worked with to get faster and more agile.

A 6'7+ DT? Doubtful..u have to play lower on the interior d line.
