East Carolina University’s football program has bolstered its offensive line with the addition of transfer portal recruit who announced his commitment to the Pirates on Monday. A highly sought-after offensive lineman, will bring much-needed depth and experience to ECU’s front five for the 2025 season.
The 6’6″, 320-pound talented player comes to ECU after a standout career at his previous school, where he earned recognition as one of the top offensive line prospects in his class. Known for his physicality and quickness in pass protection, he has also displayed impressive run-blocking skills, making him a versatile and valuable asset to any offensive system.
“I’m really excited to join the ECU family and help contribute to the team’s success moving forward,” Trnavsky said in a statement. “Coach [Mike] Houston and the coaching staff have a great vision for this program, and I’m looking forward to being a part of it.”
His decision to commit to ECU adds another key piece to a Pirates’ offense that has been focused on improving its line play in recent seasons. His experience and size give the Pirates a potential anchor on the offensive line as they look to compete in the American Athletic Conference next fall.
ECU head coach Blake Harrell expressed his enthusiasm over landing him, calling him a “fantastic addition to our program.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome Cooper to our offensive line group,” Houston said. “He has the kind of physical traits and mental toughness that we value. Cooper’s experience will help set the tone for us up front, and we’re confident he will make an immediate impact.”
Trnavsky’s commitment is seen as part of ECU’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its recruiting class and build a competitive roster for the upcoming season. As the Pirates continue to make strides in rebuilding their program, the addition of experienced players like Trnavsky is expected to help elevate their play both on the field and in the trenches.
Fans of ECU football can look forward to watching Trnavsky suit up in the purple and gold as he takes on a pivotal role in the Pirates’ offensive line next season.
