BIOGRAPHY

Jace Cooper is a dual-threat quarterback at Cimarron-Memorial High School in Las Vegas, Nevada. Originally from Kalamazoo, Michigan, Cooper grew up around football through his father, a coach, giving him an early understanding of the game and helping develop the football IQ he now brings to the quarterback position.

Although Cooper began playing organized football later than many athletes, he quickly demonstrated an ability to learn, adapt, and compete. He earned an opportunity at quarterback on the junior varsity level as a freshman and has continued developing as both a passer and runner.

Cooper brings a dual-threat skill set to the offense, using his mobility to extend plays and create opportunities outside the pocket while continuing to develop his passing mechanics, decision-making, accuracy, and command of the offense. His willingness to be coached and commitment to improving are important parts of his development.

Away from game day, Cooper continues to focus on becoming a more complete quarterback through training, film study, strength development, and increased experience at the position. His background around coaching has also helped him understand that quarterback development involves more than physical ability—it requires preparation, leadership, communication, and an understanding of what the defense is trying to accomplish.

As Cooper continues his high school career, his goals are to develop into a complete varsity quarterback, help Cimarron-Memorial compete at a high level, gain college recruiting exposure, and position himself for future scholarship opportunities. His journey remains one of development and opportunity. With continued work and experience, Cooper is focused on maximizing his potential and proving what he can bring to a football program at the next level.
