PENSACOLA, Fla. — Jacob Copeland is coming soon to an SEC stadium near you.

Copeland, a 4-star wide receiver from Pensacola, has a top 5 that consists of Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss and Tennessee. Copeland holds scholarship offers from the 30 schools but wants to play his college ball in the SEC.

“That’s the strongest conference and I feel like I’m built for that,” Copeland told SEC Country. “Through my whole life, I played with kids way older than me and I was young coming up, so I just had to learn from my big brothers. … Playing in the SEC, you gotta ball out if you want to be on that big-dog level.”

Copeland is 6-foot, 192 pounds and the nation’s No. 9 wide receiver and No. 52 overall prospect, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

In the video interview below, the Under Armour All-American discusses the following topics:
