The interviewer asked a young Cooper Kupp about his high school career coming and did that hit him yet and how he felt going forward. “No, not yet. I still have a lot of football to play and I mean, I don’t think that will hit me until our last game, hopefully, a ways away. And when that day comes I mean I know I’ve worked hard, hopefully, things will play out and it won’t be the last football game I’ve played,” Kupp replied.

Kupp attended and graduated from Davis High School in Yakima in 2012 where he was a two-sport athlete in football and basketball for the Pirates athletic teams. Kupp was a unanimous first-team All-Columbia Basin Big Nine League wide receiver and defensive back at Davis. He finished his senior season with 60 receptions for 1,059 yards (17.7 per catch) and 18 touchdowns and scored 22 total touchdowns to set a school record.
