Penn State 2027 tight end commit Cooper Terwilliger joins Locked On Nittany Lions for an exclusive interview about his game, his commitment and his future in Matt Campbell and Taylor Mouser’s offense.
Terwilliger explains why tight end is one of football’s most demanding positions, what it means to be a complete Penn State tight end and how he plans to prepare for the physical demands of Big Ten football. He also discusses his longstanding relationships with Campbell and Mouser, Penn State’s Tight End U tradition, his South Dakota roots, reading defensive coverages and his potential partnership with fellow 2027 tight end commit Sean Currie.
Cooper also shares why he trusted Penn State despite the distance from home and what makes the first full Matt Campbell recruiting class special. From Will Wood and Stanley Montgomery to Kei’Shjuan Telfair and the rest of Penn State’s 2027 group, these recruits are already embracing their opportunity to establish the foundation of a new era in Happy Valley.
What part of Cooper Terwilliger’s game excites you most: his blocking, football IQ, receiving potential or physicality?
