I hope he keeps improving. Just checked the ages of these athletes. If he does he will surely have a chance to catch the others. Many have tried. Just think; Robinson has had this record since 1982. Cooper will start his senior year at age 18 yrs 5 1/2 months old. This means Cooper will have until he is 19 yrs 5 months old to set a record that Darrell Robinson set at age 18 yrs 8 months (7/24/1982).
The other previous national class record holders entered the senior year at age 17. Darrell Robinson began his senior year at 17 yrs 9 months ; Obea Moore 17 yrs 8 months, Will Reed 17 yrs 5 months, Aldrich Bailey 17 years 6 months
