Flagg attended Nokomis Regional High School in Newport, Maine as a freshman before transferring to Montverde Academy in Montverde, Florida. Flagg won multiple national high school player of the year honors as a senior and was ranked the top recruit in the 2024 class.
Flagg's mother Kelly played college basketball at Maine, where she was a team captain as a senior. His father, Ralph, played NJCAA basketball at Eastern Maine Community College. Flagg has a fraternal twin brother, Ace, who was a teammate at Nokomis, transferred to Montverde, and has since verbally committed to play at Maine starting in 2025–26. Flagg's older brother Hunter was also a Nokomis basketball player and was a senior when the former was a freshman. His family relocated from Newport to Florida after he and his twin brother transferred to Montverde Academy.
Flagg signed a shoe deal with New Balance prior to the start of his freshman year at Duke. Flagg's decision to choose New Balance was influenced by the company's ties to his home state of Maine, with two of their factories being located near his hometown of Newport. He also became the first men's college basketball player to be sponsored by Gatorade.
On February 17, 2025, Cooper Flagg became the first ACC player in the last 25 years with 500+ points, 100+ assists, and 30 blocks in the regular season. He was named the ACC Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year, joining Zion Williamson, Marvin Bagley III, and Jahlil Okafor as the only players in conference history to win both awards in the same season.
