Cade Cooper, a 4-star wide receiver prospect from Malvern Preparatory School in Pennsylvania, made an unofficial visit to Georgia Tech's campus last week during the Yellow Jackets' spring break. Cooper, who holds over 25 scholarship offers, was impressed by his time on The Flats and the coaching staff led by wide receivers coach Jafar Williams.
