Romello Cooper is a young edge presence with upside, but still an unproven piece at Samford
In the 2024 recruiting class, Samford described Romello Cooper as an aggressive end off the edge with speed and quickness, projecting him as a playmaking defensive end in their league[13]. He arrived from Chelsea High School after a senior season with 56 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and 7.5 sacks[13]. As of the 2025-26 offseason, major stat trackers list him on Samford’s roster but show no available college game logs or season statistics yet, which suggests his value is still more about future disruption than current production[5][6][11].
