promising TCU edge with size, versatility, and room to grow
Coppinger is a 6-3, 240-pound TCU freshman DE/EDGE from Rockhurst High who arrived as a two-star prospect and a multi-sport athlete, bringing a linebacker’s tackling background and enough length to project up front. In 2025, he did not appear in a game, so the on-field sample is still basically zero; the intrigue is in the profile, not the stat sheet. He looks like a developmental fit for a program that values effort, flexibility, and upside—more “future rotation piece” than instant headline-grabber.
