Tennessee Volunteers Target Decommit DaYon Cooper After Visit

The Tennessee Volunteers are making a strong push for Class of 2027 athlete DaYon Cooper, who recently decommitted from Florida State following his official visit to Knoxville. The South Pittsburg High School standout announced his decision on social media, expressing gratitude to the Seminoles while indicating a shift in his recruitment. Cooper, a versatile player projected to play wide receiver at Tennessee, is ranked as the No. 52 athlete in his class by 247Sports. His visit to the Volunteers was pivotal, as he has been heavily recruited by Tennessee and Oklahoma State. Cooper's relationship with wide receivers coach Kelsey Pope has also played a significant role in his interest in the Volunteers. He noted that staying close to home was a factor in his recruitment, making Tennessee an appealing option. With his impressive high school performance, including winning Tennessee's Class 1A Mr. Football Award, Cooper is seen as a dynamic addition to any program. The Volunteers are optimistic about securing his commitment as they continue to strengthen their recruiting efforts.
