Early life and high school

The son of Romanian immigrants,[1] Cosmi grew up in Humble, Texas and attended Atascocita High School.[2] He was named first team All-District 21-6A and second team 6A All-State as a senior.[3] Rated a three star recruit, Cosmi committed to play college football at Houston over offers from TCU and Memphis but flipped his commitment to Texas after Houston coach Tom Herman was hired by the school.[4]

College career

Cosmi redshirted his true freshman season.[5] He played in all 14 of Texas's games as a redshirt freshman and started the last 13 at right tackle.[6][7] As a redshirt sophomore he started all 13 games and was named second team All-Big 12 Conference.[8] Cosmi considered entering the 2020 NFL Draft, but opted to return for his redshirt junior season.[9][10]
