Boston College’s quiet special-teams glue guy: Cooper Crook is trending upward
In the 2025 season, Cooper Crook served as Boston College’s short snapper in 11 games, and by 2026 he’s listed as a 6-foot-5, 225-pound redshirt sophomore, which suggests the staff trusts his development and size for the role.[1][2] The big differentiator here is reliability: long snappers don’t pile up flashy stats, but Crook’s repeated game action, background as a two-time all-region high school lineman, and steady progression point to a calm, low-mistake special-teams piece who fits a team that values consistency over headlines.[1][3]
