San Jacinto 6-foot-6 wide receiver Gordy Cooper will attend the University of Nevada-Las Vegas on a football scholarship according to Tigers football coach Bill Powell.

With his size some think Cooper, who caught 66 passes for 876 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, will become a tight end but Powell denied such talk saying the Runnin Rebels are bringing in Cooper to be a big receiver for their spread offense.

As for Cooper's teammate and Tigers offensive/defensive lineman Ryan Dannewitz, a college decision may take a little longer than expected.
