Football Cooper Cousins named to Rivals Freshman All-American Team!

Happy Valley Insider - Rivals.com Freshman All-America Team: Offense

Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith was the top-ranked prospect in the 2024 Rivals250.

Cousins’ transition to center with veteran Nick Dawkins there could be slowed, but the top player in the Pennsylvania state rankings last season and the fifth-best offensive guard could see the field this season. Cousins was awesome at the All-American Bowl last year and at 6-foot-6 and 316 pounds, he has the frame and the toughness to be an early contributor.

Dawkins provides stability and institutional knowledge but Cousins might just be too good for Penn State to keep off the field for long.

Penn State is eerily starting to remind me of Notre Dame and their preseason hype

Really curious to see how many reps he gets this weekend vs West Virginia.

What a joke. He hasn't played a snap in competition. Get back to me in December.

Does that apply to all the other teams that have players on the list?

Do you wait til December to complain about recruits that we lost who never played a snap?

I previously posted a very complementary article regarding Cooper. He seems to be a great hard-working kid. Yes, words mean nothing until he gets onto the field, but his potential is through the roof. I think we’re headed in a much better direction on both lines. This is the next step to becoming elite.
