Derrek Cooper Injury Update | Texas Longhorns Football News

Texas freshman running back Derrek Cooper suffered a lower-body injury in the first half against Texas State, limping off with trainers—exact timing unclear. Expected to be a key contributor this season, Cooper’s physicality and instinctive play have drawn high praise from head coach Steve Sarkisian, who called him a hard-charging, fast learner. His absence could significantly impact the Longhorns’ offense, especially as he was poised for more playing time in the second half.
