big-bodied young tackle with upside, but still waiting for real game tape
In the 2025 season, Cooper Lauersen is a redshirt freshman offensive lineman at Stony Brook listed at 6-5 and 305 pounds, after entering as a 6-5, 280-pound freshman in 2024.[1][3][5] His clearest selling point is developmental upside: he arrived with strong high-school credentials, earning Second Team All-Area and First Team All-Catholic honors and helping Conwell Egan win back-to-back district titles.[11] He did not appear in a game in 2024, so the fit question is less about current production and more about frame, growth, and whether his size translates into reliable pass protection and run-game power.[1]
