Aiden Cook Aiden Cook 6'1" | 200 lbs | LB/TE Sun Valley | 2025 State PA is a tricky rank for me, I often feel like he’s better than the rank I assign. Cook has average linebacker measurables that college coaches would and should be comfortable with, yet you can make the case that Cook is a much better weapon to deploy on offense, specifically at TE. Then you have to answer the question “Is Cook a college TE?”. I might answer no because of measurables despite Cook coming away with 300+ receiving yards as a junior. Is he a WR? Is Cook a TE or a LB? Measurables have me leaning toward LB yet the best reps on tape don’t come from this alignment.
Either way you slice it, for Sun Valley, Aiden Cook Aiden Cook 6'1" | 200 lbs | LB/TE Sun Valley | 2025 State PA ‘s value is immeasurable. Three scores on 22 receptions, QB RJ Scharrer RJ Scharrer 6'0" | 180 lbs | QB Sun Valley | 2026 PA has a vacuum to throw into at least 3-4 times a game. Soft hands, a natural pass catcher who can transition from route runner to ball carrier smoother than you might imagine. Can get in a three-point stance and align in-line beside tackles. Can provide quality reps in an H-back role. Can of course be a better blocker, always room to improve here but the young man is willing. Backer reps are present on tape too. I’m likely to change Cook back to ATH after plugging on his tape once more, although I bounce between LB to TE to ATH when it pertains to Cook.

Aiden Cook Aiden Cook 6'1" | 200 lbs | LB/TE Sun Valley | 2025 State PA did an excellent job at the showcase. He showed wide receiver skills at tight end. He runs well for a tight end and displayed good skills all day running routes. Then when the ball is thrown in his direction he does a good job getting his hands on the ball. Cook has all the tools to play well at tight end.

A prospect with a lot to gain from a recruiting perspective. Sun Valley’s Aiden Cook Aiden Cook 6'1" | 200 lbs | LB/TE Sun Valley | 2025 State PA stands in the 350-500 bracket, where many D2 PSAC studs land each year. That’s my grade on the junior backer, I think he could/should be a name PSACs hound over in due time. With PSACs in attendance, it’s crucial Cook impresses those in attendance. Ranked as a backer, despite his tape fully showcasing his entire skillset. DL/TE/ATH. There’s room to be had in terms of climbing our ranks, his current ranking is likely his floor, with a ceiling that has yet to be met. I hope Cook makes a step toward said ceiling at this event. I want to paint him in the best light, a great showing could go a long way. Since he’s assigned to the second session, I imagine Cook will be participating at TE/pass-catcher, which is exciting.

3-minute tape showcasing reps primarily at Tight End (in-line).
Utilized as a chip and release pass-catching option who has the hands and athleticism to break a coverage.
Listed as an “ATH” because of build and athleticism. Linebacker could be an option, I imagine, as well as FB, or WR.
