Sunday morning, the West Virginia Mountaineers picked up a commitment from class of 2023 offensive lineman Cooper Young over Downington, PA. Young becomes the eighth member of the class and the first offensive linemen to commit to the program this cycle.

Highlights: 

Evaluation: Young primarily lines up at left guard, but has the ability to play all three interior spots along the offensive line. He's very physical in the run game as he possesses powerful hands while maintaining good pad level. Pulls exceptionally well and seeks contact in the second level immediately. Young buries opposing linemen consistently and does so quite effortlessly. Understands leverage at a high level and uses it to seal off running lanes. Absolute tone-setter.
