Cooper Witten's size, athleticism, instincts, and two-way playmaking ability remind us of Patrick Queen. Witten and Queen were around the same size as high school prospects and were instinctive, physical two-way players. Witten stars as a linebacker and wide receiver, while Queen was a linebacker and running back. Both were plus athletes for the position with the need to continue adding size once in a college strength program. 

Versatile linebacker that possesses range, sideline to sideline top-end speed and tremendous instincts. 6-foot-1, 210 pounds that has verified athletic ability. Ran sub-11 in the 100m during his sophomore track and field season. Primarily played safety as a sophomore but has since walked down into a more traditional linebacker role. Doubles as a wide receiver as well for his high school showing off his athletic ability and ball skills. Needs to continue developing his ability to strike and physicality in the box, but has top-tier athleticism to make plays in space and cover. Older prospect for the recruiting cycle.
