The Virginia Cavaliers have seven new faces on their 2024-25 roster, one of which being exciting freshman big man Jacob Cofie.
A 6-foot-10, 232 pound forward from Seattle, Washington, Cofie was a four-star prospect coming out of Eastside Catholic School where he averaged 21.9 points, 12.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 2.9 steals and 2.3 blocks per contest in 2023-24.
Cofie — who was named the 2024 Max Preps Player of the Year for the state of Washington — will have a lot of work to do to earn minutes in a crowded UVA frontcourt. But Head Coach Ron Sanchez indicated last week that “there’s no discussion of redshirting anyone” at this time, meaning Cofie will get his shot to carve out a role this season.
