UteNation Take
At 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, Cope has the physical size to be a reliable target in the passing game. He is not the fastest receiver in the group, but he has exceptional hands and body control - a similar game to former Ute receiver Kenneth Scott. What really stands out about him is his ability to gain separation, despite not having great speed. If the Utah receivers are going to take a step forward in 2023, Cope will most likely need to be a part of that development.
Cope has shown flashes of greatness in practice and scrimmages, so the program is hopeful he can consistently show it on the field. His size alone makes him a good red zone target, and hopefully another year of experience will take the sophomore’s game to the next level.
