Cooper Merritt Cooper Merritt 6'0" | 200 lbs | DL Ripley | 2026 State WV is a developing defensive lineman from Ripley whose best trait is his willingness to compete on every rep. He shows the ability to clog lanes and force runners to bounce plays outside, even against bigger opponents. As a low-ranked prospect, his upside lies in strength gains and refinement within a college weight program.
