For Austin, it is fairly easy. The original leader of the team and long time quarterback Easton Cole would be one of the first statues to be placed in front of 16 Copperhead Road. His relationship with and involvement with the management of the team only cements his legacy. In terms of pose; it would have to be a likeness of the famous picture of Cole scrambling against OCO for a touchdown. Cole was the epitome of what it means to be a Copperhead, going out there every week and giving it their all. Sometimes he gave it all to the opposing teams with his gun slinging style, but he more than made up for it with his incredible touchdown passes and game management. There are many others that deserve statues as well; Mako Mendonca, Net Gaines, Kyle Idlewyld, and Alfredo Crisco. At the end of the day, though, Easton Cole is the biggest stand out of them all. Playing longer than any of them, perhaps longer than anyone expected of him even. His attitude and passion for the team's success is unrivalled and showed in every game he played. He even made sure to mentor the newer players when they first hit the field. The first statue on the grounds of 16 Copperhead Road would undoubtedly be Easton Cole.
