Cooper Johns brings compact, physical depth to The Citadel backfield
Cooper Johns is a 5-foot-10, 190-pound running back at The Citadel whose profile screams sturdy depth and upside rather than headline-grabbing volume. In the 2025 season, he earned late-game snaps against Valdosta State and logged 2 carries for 4 yards, adding to a very small career workload through 2024-25; that makes him more of a projection than a proven feature back. The appealing part: he has local ties, a strong frame, and a reputation as a hard-working, low-drama contributor who can fit a physical, role-based offense.
