Omar Cooper Jr. has officially declared for the NFL Draft, taking the next step after a standout college career — and doing so with deep ties to Fort Wayne.
Cooper’s roots trace directly back to Northeast Indiana. Both of his parents are South Side High School alumni. His mother, former Vnemina Reese, starred on the basketball court before going on to play at Michigan State. His father was a dual-sport athlete at South Side, competing in both football and basketball.
On our postseason episode of the Around the Fort podcast, we sat down with Bishop Luers standout Jarron Taylor.
He broke down what it was like lining up against Knox high school star Myles McLaughlin, who came within 363 yards of breaking Derrick Henry’s national high school career rushing record (12,124 yards) during the 2025 post season.
