Cooper Keesee
Recruit Profile
I truly love the sport of lacrosse and everyday I work to be a better player and teammate. My strengths include my lacrosse IQ, discipline, stick skills, anticipation and athleticism.
I am an outgoing and motivational leader and learner on and off the field. I perform to the best of my ability and express good leadership and sportsmanship to my teammates and opponents. My goal is to improve my game and overall lacrosse IQ every time I step on the field, while also hoping to inspire my teammates to do the same as well.
I have been playing lacrosse my entire life, and I can play a variety of positions. I play on a national level as a LSM or on close defense. I have been invited to play with Whales which focuses on fundraising and enjoying the sport, on multiple national level teams, and have also remained loyal to my club team since third grade. I have played in about 12 different states to be sure to challenge myself and expose myself to high level lacrosse.
I played basketball for my high school prior to COVID. I have raced in a half marathon and local races with my family. I also ran for Nike's Bowerman team at the USATF Junior Olympic Cross Country National Championship. I currently work at Dicks Sporting Goods store which has taught me how to manage my time. In my free time, I like to fish and paddle board on the lake.
I enjoy volunteer opportunities with my high school teammates such as food drives, park clean-up events, and book drives. I take a demanding course load at a highly competitive school. I currently have a 3.7 GPA and take dual credit and advanced classes. I plan to study business in college. I also enjoy reffing lacrosse, stringing sticks for players, and volunteering with youth lacrosse.

Cooper has all the tools necessary to play LSM or close D at the highest levels. He has an excellent stick, is very athletic and has an excellent understanding of the game. Cooper is a very coachable player, working hard on and off the field. He is relentless as a defender and on GB's, has great anticipation, is an offensive threat clearing the ball and plays within our system. Cooper is already proving to be one of the best poles we have ever had in our program.
Neal Bateman
Cooper gets better every time he touches the field. High lax IQ, excellent stick skills along with great ground ball abilities mixed with his talent to clear the ball back up the field is incredible. Hard worker, determined, expects to give the best at all time, great leader and teammate.
Justin Cox
Cooper is a coaches dream with his high lax IQ and natural ball hawking abilities and a ground ball machine both at LSM and a close D, he is the hardest working player and what you expect to get with from a coaches son. Would love to field 10 Coopers.
Adam Keesee
Throughout Cooper’s Lacrosse career I have watched him grow as a true team player, student of the game and leader. Playing under dozens of coaches at the local & national level has contributed to his high IQ and strong coach-like mentality both on the field and on the sideline.
