Erie native Cooper Cousins skyrocketed up the rankings this fall after a dominant performance during the All-Star season. Recruiting Insiders Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz will discuss where Penn State’s top targets landed in the On300. Here’s what On3 national scout Cody Bellaire said about Cousins.“Cooper Cousins’ tape is filled with pancakes and tossing defenders out of the club,” On3 National Scout Cody Bellaire wrote following his All-American week. “With that said, we knew he would be physical and feisty, but we didn’t know just how violent he would truly be when facing some of the top competition in the country. Throughout the week, Cousins was powerful at the point of attack. He finished blocks in the run game and was battling through the whistle during one-on-one’s. His movement skills were on full display during 9-on-7 and team periods.We also discuss Jon Mitchell’s ascent back to the top 100 in the final On3 Rankings and where the rest of Penn State’s nine prospects landed on that list.Penn State Junior Day PreviewPenn State hosts its final Junior Day before the dead period closes down recruiting for the month of February.
