Cooper will forgo his final season of collegiate eligibility at Indiana after he declared for the 2026 NFL Draft on Friday, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports.

Across four seasons with Indiana, Cooper steadily improved and emerged as one of the FBS' top wideouts in 2025. While suiting up in all 16 games for the undefeated Hoosiers, Cooper registered 69 receptions (on 86 targets) for 937 yards and 13 touchdowns.
