Weber State’s Derek Cosper: a tough, versatile fullback with special-teams grit
Derek Cosper is a classic Weber State glue guy: a 6-foot-1, 240-pound fullback who appeared in 33 career games and contributed as a blocker, receiver, and special-teams piece. In the 2010 season, he played in 10 of 11 games, posted 29 all-purpose yards, and added three catches for 20 yards plus a kickoff return, showing he could help in multiple spots. His value is less about flashy box-score numbers and more about physicality, reliability, and football IQ — the kind of player coaches trust when they want tone-setters who do the dirty work.
