Wagner LB Gage Coppersmith brings size, versatility and developmental upside
Gage Coppersmith is a 6-1, 200-pound linebacker entering his sophomore season at Wagner in 2026, and the early buzz is more about projection than production: available listings show him as a live roster piece with no major public stat line yet, which means the intrigue is in the traits. He’s built like a modern, movable defender with outside-LB versatility, and draft-watch services already treat him as a prospect to monitor rather than a finished product. If a team wants a young, athletic linebacker with room to grow, he’s a sensible fit; if it needs an instant box-score star, this is more of a patience play.
