Cooper Richmond brings freshman size and upside to Columbia’s offensive line
In the 2026 season, Cooper Richmond is a 6-foot-6, 297-pound freshman OL for Columbia with the kind of frame coaches love to mold into a long-term protection piece[1][2]. He looks like a developmental lineman rather than a finished product right now, but that’s the appeal: size, length, and early roster placement suggest real upside if his technique and strength catch up. For a team, he’s a fit if you want a high-ceiling project who can grow into the role instead of just filling one today[1][2].
