5 Star Feature: Auburn Commit & McEachern Guard Sharife Cooper Plans to Make His Name Known

Sharife Cooper earned recognition as one of the elite point guards in the 2020 class despite standing just 6-foot-1. The floor general from McEachern High School in Georgia earned both the Georgia Gatorade Player of the Year and USA Today National Player of the Year awards as a junior.

Cooper's exceptional court vision and basketball IQ earned him comparisons to a coach on the floor. His older sister Te'a Cooper, who starred at Baylor, inspired his pursuit of basketball excellence. Cooper committed to the Auburn Tigers, where his creativity and decision-making were expected to thrive. This Five Star Feature examines the skills and family influence that shaped one of the nation's premier point guards.
