4. Scouting & Transfer Notes
Background Profile
Cook has taken an impressive upward trajectory across the collegiate landscape. Coming out of Stony Point High School in Texas as a highly regarded recruit, he showed his efficiency at TCU by leading the Horned Frogs in rushing scores as a sophomore in 2024. Seeking a heavier workload, he transferred to Jacksonville State for the 2025 season and engineered a masterpiece of a year. Cook captured Conference USA Player of the Year honors by rushing for an FBS-leading 1,659 yards, carrying the Gamecocks’ offense on his back. Looking to maximize his draft profile on a premier Power Four stage, Cook transferred to West Virginia in January 2026 to become the engine of the Mountaineers’ ground assault.
Key Strengths
- Elite Dynamic Volume Creator: Proved himself to be a premier high-volume asset in 2025, pacing the nation in rushing yardage and becoming the first Jax State player in 20 years to stack seven straight 100-yard games.
- Premium Big-Play Generation: Displays sudden, high-end acceleration and horizontal elusiveness; led the entire FBS with 53 distinct carries of 10 or more yards in 2025.
- Low-Center Contact Balance: Uses a compact 5’9″, 202-pound frame to consistently work beneath defensive pad lines, flashing excellent core strength to absorb hits and slide out of structural wrap attempts.
- Evolving All-Purpose Value: Complements his physical rushing style with reliable hands out of the backfield, matching defenses with 30 catches for 286 yards in 2025.
Developmental Focus
While Cook features elite short-area bursts and impressive chunk-play capability, he is moving from Rich Rodriguez’s highly favorable, spacing-centric option attack into a more structured, downhill scheme in Morgantown. Pro evaluators will closely analyze how his efficiency marks hold up against physical, dense Big 12 defensive fronts, looking for him to cement his processing quickness and pick up nuances of mechanical pass protection.
