Who Is This FL HS Legend? Andre Cooper/Fletcher


OldSchoolLion

Recommended Posts

Was one of the most highly recruited FL hs wide receivers of the 90's and a high school All-American.  Was also one of the top hs basketball players in the state.  His name is still in the Noles' record books.  He also set an Orange Bowl record.  Noles fans may remember his game-winning TD catch there.  His NFL career never took off, though.

Who is he and for what high school did he play?

It is Andre Cooper of Neptune Beach Fletcher High.  Here are some highlights of his career numbers as a ’Nole:

  • Cooper’s 71 receptions, in ’95, are tied for the fifth most in an FSU season. With whom is he tied? Peter Warrick, who had as many grabs in his best season (1999).
  • Cooper’s 132 career catches are tied for 12th in program history with De’Cody Fagg and Warrick Dunn.
  • Cooper has the sixth-most career touchdown grabs in school history, with 24. FSU legend Ron Sellers finished with 23.
  • Cooper is tied for the most TD snags in a single regular season, with 15 in 1995. The only other ’Nole to post that number: Kelvin Benjamin, in 2013.  He holds the record of 18 for most TD receptions in a season If one includes his 3 postseason TD's.
  • There have been just 12 1,000+ receiving-yard seasons notched by Seminole WRs. Cooper’s 1,002 yards in 1995 is one of there.

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
