## Resource

Miami Hurricanes wide receiver Cooper Barkate joins Darian Mensah on Greentree Made to tell the story behind his unlikely path to The U — from growing up as a lacrosse player in California to earning an unexpected football scholarship, attending Harvard, playing at Duke and ultimately betting on himself by transferring to Miami.Barkate breaks down why he chose the Hurricanes, what makes Miami's competition feel like a “mini NFL training camp,” his relationship with the Canes family, his football mentality and the philosophy that continues to push him outside his comfort zone.He also shares the incredible story of receiving a full-ride scholarship after attending a Purdue camp almost by accident, his favorite receivers growing up, his Miami food spots, pregame music and the origin of the “Spider-Man” nickname and celebration that followed him from high school to college football.Subscribe for more exclusive Miami Hurricanes football interviews, player stories and behind-the-scenes content from The U.Presented by American Top Team - https://americantopteam.com/
