Argyle Liberty Christian LB Cooper Witten (6’1, 210) has been named the first five-star prospect in the 2027 DCTX Rising Hot 100.
Witten holds more than 25 scholarship offers, including Texas, Texas A&M, Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Tennessee and others.
He kicked off the season with a dominant Week 1 performance, catching 17 passes for 175 yards and four touchdowns while also impacting the game defensively. A true two-way ironman, he rarely leaves the field.
Scouting Report: Witten owns verified 10.91 track speed with advanced instincts and physicality. His background at safety shows up in coverage skills, now paired with downhill burst and finishing power. He’s also an explosive offensive weapon, underscoring rare athletic versatility that boosts his overall long-term linebacker projection. High-level production, leadership qualities, and a multi-sport pedigree cement him as one of the most complete and high-upside defenders in the 2027 class nationally.
Witten is the son of former Dallas Cowboys and Tennessee Volunteers star Jason Witten, who now serves as his head coach, and the brother of Rice freshman linebacker CJ Witten.
