Pitt’s steady, battle-tested center with NFL-style poise
In the 2024 season, Lyndon Cooper won Pitt’s starting center job, started all 12 games he played, and was praised for commanding the offensive front with poise and precision; he also earned a PFF ACC Team of the Week nod after the California game. After transferring from NC State, he brought veteran stability, strength at the point of attack, and the kind of line-calling reliability coaches love in a center. One caution flag: he missed the Louisville game with injury in 2024, so durability matters, but when healthy he looked like a dependable anchor and a strong fit for a physical, pro-style run game.
