He played [college football](/source/College_football) at [Ole Miss](/source/Ole_Miss_Rebels_football) and was drafted by the [San Francisco 49ers](/source/San_Francisco_49ers) in the fifth round of the [2016 NFL draft](/source/2016_NFL_draft).[1] ## College career ### Bowling Green University Cooper began attending [Bowling Green University](/source/Bowling_Green_University) in 2011 and sat out his first year as a [redshirt](/source/Redshirted). He played in all 13 regular season games for the Falcon's and started at left tackle.[1] ### College of DuPage Seeking an opportunity, Cooper transferred out of Bowling Green to [College of DuPage](/source/College_of_DuPage) in 2013. He started all 13 games for head coach Matt Foster and was rated by *[ESPN.com](/source/ESPN.com)* as the #5 junior college [offensive tackle](/source/Offensive_tackle) in the nation and the #18 overall junior college prospect in the nation. [247sports.com](/source/247sports.com) and ESPN.com also had him rated as a four-star prospect.[1] ### University of Mississippi As a highly touted junior college prospect, Cooper chose to attend the [University of Mississippi](/source/University_of_Mississippi) and play under head coach [Hugh Freeze](/source/Hugh_Freeze). He was the Rebels' starting right tackle going into the season and was able to start all 13 regular-season games, including two at left tackle. He made his debut on August 28, 2014, helping Ole Miss secure a 35–13 victory over [Boise State](/source/Boise_State_University). On November 1, 2014, he started at left tackle for the first time during his career at Ole Miss after starting left tackle [Laremy Tunsil](/source/Laremy_Tunsil) was unable to play due to injury. The Rebels went on to lose 35–31 to #3 [Auburn](/source/Auburn_University). He also started at left tackle the following week during a 48-0 victory over [Presbyterian College](/source/Presbyterian_College).

He began the season as the starting left tackle after Tunsil was suspended 7 games for receiving improper benefits. He started the season opener against [UT Martin](/source/University_of_Tennessee-Martin) and helped the Rebels win 73–3 making it the most points they've scored since 1935. They also had 662 yards of offense, making it the second most for a single game in school history. On September 19, 2015, he helped Mississippi defeat #2 [Alabama](/source/University_of_Alabama) 43–37, making the most points Ole Miss has ever scored at Alabama. The following week, he earned [Southeastern Conference](/source/Southeastern_Conference) (SEC) offensive lineman of the week after helping Ole Miss defeat [Vanderbilt](/source/Vanderbilt_University) 27–16. Cooper was mid-season all-SEC by *ESPN.com* and won the [Kent Hull Trophy](/source/Conerly_Trophy#Kent_Hull_Trophy) as Mississippi's top collegiate offensive lineman. He started every regular season contest for the Rebels, 7 of them being at left tackle and 6 at right tackle after the return of Tunsil.[1] ## Professional career ### Pre-draft Cooper decided to declare himself eligible for the [2016 NFL draft](/source/2016_NFL_draft) after having no eligibility remaining after his 2015 season at Ole Miss. He was projected to be a sixth or seventh round selection after performing well at the 2016 [NFL Combine](/source/NFL_Combine) in [Indianapolis](/source/Indianapolis). He performed at Ole Miss' [Pro Day](/source/Pro_Day) and improved on his combine stats. He was able to [bench press](/source/Bench_press) 225 lbs 24 times and had a 9-foot 8 inch [broad jump](/source/Broad_jump), a foot and two inches better than at the combine. He also performed well during his positional drills but was overshadowed by outstanding performances by teammates and projected first rounders [Robert Nkemdiche](/source/Robert_Nkemdiche), Laremy Tunsil, and [Laquon Treadwell](/source/Laquon_Treadwell).[2] Pre-draft measurables Height Weight Arm length Hand span 40-yard dash 10-yard split 20-yard split 20-yard shuttle Three-cone drill Vertical jump Broad jump Bench press 6 ft 4+1⁄2 in (1.94 m) 303 lb (137 kg) 34+3⁄4 in (0.88 m) 10 in (0.25 m) 5.17 s 1.81 s 2.99 s 4.89 s 7.85 s 25.0 in (0.64 m) 9 ft 8 in (2.95 m) 24 reps All values from NFL Combine/Pro Day[3][4][5] ### San Francisco 49ers The San Francisco 49ers selected Cooper in the fifth round (174th overall) in the [2016 NFL draft](/source/2016_NFL_draft).[6] On May 6, 2016, the 49ers signed him to a four-year, $2.52 million rookie contract with a signing bonus of $184,384.[7] Going into training camp, Cooper was expected to compete for the 49ers' starting [right guard](/source/Right_guard) position along with [Ian Silberman](/source/Ian_Silberman) and fellow rookies [Joshua Garnett](/source/Joshua_Garnett) and [John Theus](/source/John_Theus). First rounder Garnett ultimately won the starting right guard position with Theus winning the backup left tackle position. He was released as part of the 49ers' final roster cuts but was added to their [practice squad](/source/Practice_squad) after going unclaimed.[8][9] He spent his entire rookie year on the practice squad although on November 15, 2016, he was added to the practice squad's injured list due to "a medical issue that is non-mechanical in nature."[10] ### Indianapolis Colts On February 27, 2017, Cooper signed with the [Indianapolis Colts](/source/Indianapolis_Colts).[11] On September 2, 2017, Cooper was waived by the Colts.[12] ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-ole_miss_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-ole_miss_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-ole_miss_1-2) [***d***](#cite_ref-ole_miss_1-3) ["OleMissSports: Fahn Cooper"](https://web.archive.org/web/20160909133443/http://www.olemisssports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/fahn_cooper_913294.html). *ole miss sports.com*.
