The son of an NFL legend will have a chance to shine at Notre Dame’s Irish Invasion event this weekend.
Top Fighting Irish target Cooper Witten will be at the program’s signature recruiting event along with a bevy of other top prospects who have been on ND’s radar.
The Class of 2027 five-star linebacker from Liberty Christian (Argyle, TX) grew up watching his father, Jason, excel in a likely Hall of Fame career with the Dallas Cowboys and Las Vegas Raiders. After retirement, Witten became the head coach at Liberty Christian, where Cooper and his older brother CJ attend. He led the program to back to back state championships in 2023 and 2024.
The 6-foot and 3-inch, 210-pound younger Witten earned an offer from Clemson Wednesday after showcasing his skills at the Dabo Swinney football camp. Witten moves with ease and has run a 10.91-second 100 meters. His elite closing speed and football instincts make him one of the premiere defenders in his class.
His offer list includes heavy hitters outside of Notre Dame, including Alabama, Michigan, Texas and his father’s alma mater, Tennessee. In his sophomore season, he had 45 tackles, five interceptions (two returned for touchdowns) and seven receiving scores on offense.
