Sam Cooper’s a versatile Stony Brook back-to-watch with room to pop
In the 2026 season, Sam Cooper is listed by Stony Brook as a redshirt sophomore running back at 5-foot-11 and 205 pounds, but there isn’t enough public game-stat evidence yet to show a breakout workload. The appeal is the frame: he looks built for a physical, two-way grinder role, and his recruited-athlete profile suggests solid athletic juice and production upside. If you want a depth-piece with development potential rather than a proven bell-cow, Cooper is worth a hard look.
