OT Samuel Cosmi
Humble, TX (Atascocita HS) –

***-star – 6-5/260 – #107 national position rank
In addition to football, Cosmi likes to rassel and is a member of Atascocita's varsity wrestling team. He has a penchant for choke-holds, so I'm not sure how that will translate to the field.

As you would hope from a kid that’s tackle height but still at DE weight, Cosmi is very light on his feet. He’d need to spend some quality time with McKnight but Cosmi has the athleticism and feet to play outside at tackle but also a nice ability to get low and drive people that could see him bump inside of tackle
.
He moves well, but he is also pretty light in the britches... On top of that he is going to need to get much stronger in the weight room as there isn’t much finishing to speak of on his film. Doesn’t come from the lack of trying or effort, he’s just not strong enough yet. This is another case of where your offensive line coach better be worth his salt because I’m a little skittish of this take all things considered.

As a prospect, Cosmi is something of a blank slate in that he’s extremely lean — much like current star left tackle Connor Williams was out of high school — and will likely need several years to add the strength and mass that he’ll need to compete at the college level.
However... he’s athletic and moves extremely well and the strength and conditioning staff can mold him in Warehime’s vision. The quality of Cosmi’s feet and movement abilities should also help ensure that he’s a pure tackle and not someone who has to eventually move inside due to mobility issues in pass protection.
