2026 NFL Draft Prospect
- Height: 6-5
- Weight: 311
- School: Indiana
- Class: Senior
| PRO | CON |
|---|---|
| Leadership and football IQ are elite. Adjusts quickly to stunts and quicker defenders with good footwork and crafty hands. Has the ability to anchor against the bull rush and brings a level of physicality when pulling. | Better with combo blocks than he is one on one. Often overextends when reaching out in space. Gets off balance and doesn’t recover quickly with his footwork. Tight hips affect his ability to move laterally. |
OVERVIEW: It's hard to be considered under the radar when you're an offensive lineman who won the 2026 Rose Bowl Offensive MVP award. Not to mention, he was a big reason for the success of two storied programs. Coogan was the starting center for Notre Dame during its 2024 national title game run as well as for Indiana in its 2025 national championship season, being the leader of an offensive line unit that paved the way for the Hoosiers. He has a résumé that says, "Works well with others," but will need to showcase his individual value.
