Scott RB Preston Cooper Preston Cooper 6'0" | 205 lbs | RB Scott | 2024 State WV is another talented in-state prospect in West Virginia State’s 2024 recruiting class.

Cooper was a PRZ WV Class AA Second Team All-State selection this season after producing a huge senior campaign for the Skyhawks.

He rushed for 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns in the high-flying Skyhawks’ offense this season. Cooper solidified himself as a Top 100 player in the 2024 class and finished inside the Top 10 of running backs.

One of the more underrated running back prospects in the state regardless of classification is Scott RB Preston Cooper Preston Cooper 6'0" | 205 lbs | RB Scott | 2024 State WV . Cooper is coming off his best season yet and saved the best for last during his senior season. He rushed for over 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns nearly doubling his production from his junior year. That’s especially impressive given how much Scott loves to throw the ball around as one of the best offenses in the state this year. Cooper was able to provide them with a balanced offense that may have gone unnoticed by some because of the gaudy numbers the passing attack was putting up. Some consider him more of a fullback but it sure seems like he played himself into being a pure running back at the next level. His size at 6’0 190 also backs that claim up but he still maintained his tough and physical running style and has plenty of film of him running by defenders even if he doesn’t have elite top-end speed. Cooper jumped up 6 spots in our overall ranking to the #94 ranked prospect in the 2024 class and the #8 running back. He should be a D2 prospect but I haven’t seen any recruiting info posted on his Twitter.
