RETURNING STANDOUT

One of the biggest building blocks in Hurricane’s program is 2028 OL Cooper Ryan. Ryan returns after earning First Team All-MSAC honors as a sophomore and gives the Redskins a cornerstone in the trenches. He’ll be relied upon to anchor the offensive line at 6’4 300 as Hurricane looks to take a step forward this fall, and his presence up front should help set the tone for the offense. While we’re still waiting for game film to better evaluate his long-term ceiling, Ryan is already one of the top college prospects on the roster and a player to know over the next two seasons.

We’re looking forward to seeing game film from 2028 Hurricane OL Cooper Ryan Cooper Ryan 6'4" | 300 lbs | OL/DL Hurricane | 2028 WV this season as he makes his varsity debut as a sophomore. He’s a prospect with a bright future if he puts in the work to develop his game and athleticism, considering his size. We’ll get a better idea of Ryan’s ability this fall as Hurricane will need young players like him to step up big.

Here’s what we recently said about Ryan in our 2028 Rankings Debut article:

“Another 2028 offensive lineman who hasn’t produced game film yet but will be a top name to know is Hurricane’s  Cooper Ryan Cooper Ryan 6'4" | 300 lbs | OL/DL Hurricane | 2028 WV . He already has impressive early size in the 6’3 300 range and should be a varsity starter as a sophomore this season. There’s not much video to evaluate of Ryan right now, but keep tabs on him to emerge sooner rather than later with physical traits that will translate to success quickly.”
