Florida State signed Wake Forest forward Cooper Schwieger, coach Luke Loucks announced on Monday. Schwieger was named MVC Freshman of the Year in 2023-24 and has appeared in a combined 99 games at Valparaiso and Wake Forest.
 
“Cooper is a tremendous addition to our program,” Loucks said in a statement. “He has real experience in college and in the ACC from competing with Wake Forest last season and starting in 11 games. He has started 76 games in his three seasons, and he has shown his productivity and impact on winning. We love his versatility and skill set on offense. He has the ability to shoot, pass, and attack off the dribble, which fits into how we want to play offensively.”

The 6-foot-10, 235-pound Schwieger averaged 15.8 points and 7.8 rebounds at Valparaiso as a sophomore, leading the Missouri Valley Conference in boards. Schwieger averaged 20 minutes at Wake in 2025-26, scoring 5.1 points and pulling down 2.5 rebounds.

“We believe he still has untapped potential, which is exciting,” Loucks said. “Most importantly, Cooper is a great young man who is motivated to help the Seminoles win a championship on the court while embracing the community.”
 
FSU has announced the signings of Anthony Robinson II (Missouri), Amare Robinson (Tallahassee State College) and Kam Taylor (UNC Ashevile). The Seminoles also have commitments from Sebastian Rancik (Colorado), Shon Abaev (Cincinnati) and Elisee Assui (Italy's Serie A pro league).
