In his injury-shortened senior season, he averaged 14.0 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.^[4]

Professional career

Copeland went undrafted in the 2019 NBA draft but later signed with the Texas Legends as a local tryout.^[5] He was subsequently reunited with Husker teammate Isaiah Roby, who was sent to the Legends on assignment from the Dallas Mavericks.^[6]

On August 5, 2020, Copeland signed with Lavrio of the Greek Basket League.^[7] However, due to an injury, he was not able to travel overseas and join the Greek club.
