Big-frame Morehead State DL with developmental upside
In the 2025 season, Cooper Malaniak is listed as a 6-foot-4, 260-pound freshman defensive lineman for Morehead State, but publicly available stat lines are extremely limited, which usually means he’s still carving out his role rather than stuffing the box score[1][3][4]. The appeal here is the frame, the position value, and the upside: he already has college size for the edge or interior, and that makes him a classic development bet for a staff looking for length, mass, and future snap growth rather than instant production[1][10].
