PVAMU QB Commit Mack Cooper (CA) recaps his Official Visit

This weekend, one of California’s most accomplished high school quarterbacks— Mack Cooper is Moore League Co-Offensive Player of the Year for Long Beach Wilson High School—he returned to “The Hill” for his official visit. Already committed to Prairie View A&M University, the standout signal-caller left campus more convinced than ever that he made the right choice.

A Weekend That Felt Like Home

From the moment he was picked up at the airport to the moment he stepped on campus, the coaching staff wrapped the young star in the full Prairie View experience: family atmosphere, championship expectations, and a culture built on discipline, loyalty, and development.

“The energy on campus is different,” the commit said. “PVAMU feels like home. The coaches treated me like I’m already part of the program. They’re building something here—you can feel it.”

The weekend itinerary was packed with team meetings, facility tours, academic presentations, and sit-downs with position coaches who outlined how and where he’ll contribute as a freshman.

Inside the Prairie View A&M Vision

Under the direction of PVAMU’s staff, the program is pushing to keep elite talent in the SWAC—players who want opportunity, growth, and a chance to leave a legacy.

“The coaches made the plan clear,” the commit shared. “They want me to come in, compete, and help this team for years to come. They were real with me. No hype—just honesty and development.”

For Prairie View A&M, this isn’t just another commit. It’s a statement piece in the new era of HBCU football recruiting.

Family, Brotherhood, and Culture

One of the most powerful moments came during team bonding sessions, where the commit met future teammates and felt the brotherhood firsthand.

“These guys really care about each other,” he said. “It’s not just football. It’s a family. I felt like I fit in instantly.”

The support staff emphasized mental health, academic accountability, and life after football—a complete-player approach that impressed the young standout and his family.

A Campus That Sells Itself

From the updated athletic facilities to the iconic Panther Stadium sitting under Texas skies, Prairie View gave the recruit a weekend he won’t forget. Coaches, boosters, and administrators all made it clear: PVAMU is investing heavily in winning championships the right way.

“The facilities surprised me,” he added. “This place is legit. Players are getting everything they need to grow.”

PVAMU

If this weekend proved anything, it’s that Prairie View A&M didn’t just gain a recruit—they gained a leader, a cornerstone, and a believer in the program’s long-term vision.

With this addition, the Panthers continue their momentum, adding firepower, swagger, and star quality heading into the next season. PVAMU fans have every reason to be excited.
