WVU Football
Cooper Young Practicing at Center | WVU Football All 105
All 105 is a West Virginia Sports Now series profiling each member of the 2025 WVU Football Roster.
Cooper Young committed to the WVU football program as a three-star interior line recruit out of Pennsylvania’s Downingtown West High School. A 6-foot-5, 309 pound wrecking ball, Young practiced at center this offseason.
Entering his redshirt sophomore season, Young might not start in 2025 — the Mountaineers brought in a good deal of veteran talent to retool their offensive line — but head coach Rich Rodriguez remains adamant about open position battles across the roster, so never say never.
64 • Cooper Young, redshirt sophomore offensive line
Last year: Young didn’t appear in any games in 2024.
Stats: Two game appearances across two college seasons.
Post-camp outlook: The Mountaineers brought in a handful of seniors and graduate students to fill gaps on an offensive line that lost every starter from last season. Those transfers will almost certainly take priority for the starting spots.
Projected role: Young will likely fill in as a backup at center, where he delivered snaps this offseason.
Accolades, highlights: Young earned a three-star rating as a recruit in high school.
