Cade Calls it Quits
Cade Cooper is calling his career with BYU quits. Cade, a junior transfer to Brigham Young University will leave the program, announced head coach Bronco Mendenhall today.
Cooper who transfered from Snow Jr. College was last years NJCAA Offensive Player of the Year, throwing for 3,103 yards and 31 touchdowns. He lead the Badgers to an 11 - 1 record.
During interviews, Cooper always expressed it was a life-long dream to play for BYU and even joined the team as a walk-on before a scholarship was made available.
During the teams spring scrimmage, the Blue and White game, Cooper suffered a season ending injury. The injury meant that he would be a year behind fellow backup Brenden Gaskins in learning the Cougars offense, severely limiting his chances to ever hold the starting job.
