Clemson confirmed the announcement via Twitter:

Cooper redshirted during 2016 and saw limited playing time this past season. His most notable appearances were coming in as a replacement for an injured Kelly Bryant against Syracuse, and a stretch of mop-up time in a blowout win over The Citadel.
In total, Cooper completed 25 of 41 passes for 256 yards and a pair of touchdowns in 2017.
