Broken Arrow’s Levi Copelin switches from Houston to Missouri

Broken Arrow defensive back Levi Copelin, who was on The Oklahoman‘s All-State first team, has decommitted from Houston and will commit to Missouri this weekend on his official visit, he confirmed in a text message.

His switch was first reported by Rivals.com.

Copelin was a jack of all trades for Broken Arrow as a senior. He intercepted eight passes, blocked four kicks and scored 12 total touchdowns, the last of which was a 40-yard reception in the Class 6A state championship loss to Tulsa Union.

He committed to Houston in October, and said in December that he was keeping his options open after Kevin Sumlin left the Cougars to become Texas A&M’s coach. Then, he said that “other opportunities” were weighing heavy on his conscience.
