Expert Analysis

Ed OBrien

Ed O'Brien

Play recognition is one of Cook’s strongest traits. Cook consistently diagnoses route concepts quickly and positions himself well in coverage. His interceptions in his highlights show that he anticipates throws at a high level and capitalizes on quarterback errors.

There are a few plays showing his reaction and closing ability. Cooks does a decent job of breaking downhill and closing quickly when routes develop in front of him.

Cook’s ball skills are another impressive aspect of his game. He tracks the football well and shows great hands while securing interceptions. The yards Cooks gains after making the interceptions help his offense get better field position.

It looks like his team plays a lot of zone coverage, in particular, quarters coverage. Does a nice job of maintaining depth before attacking the football.

Cook is definitely willing to come up and make solid tackles, as shown in plays where he broke on underneath throws and a screen pass in his highlights.

I might have put the two special teams plays he has in front of his highlights further down the line, but it’s nice to see, because being solid on special teams is always an added bonus as a recruit.

He’s not the smallest, but could benefit from adding additional strength and physical development this offseason. I’d also like to see how he is in more man-to-man coverage situations.

Cook’s ability to read the quarterback, anticipate routes, and make plays on the football would make him a solid fit for a zone-heavy-based defensive system. It’s worth noting that he’s versatile enough to play both safety and cornerback for his team.

Read Evaluation

Todd Haldis

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Darvin may have had the best individual game performance on Sunday of any non-QB players. He got it done on both sides of the ball but really made his presence felt on D. A versatile DB who can play S or line up close to the line at CB or slot CB. Darvin had 2 INTs in the game I watched of his and they were both plays he made happen. For each pick he read the route, showed good instincts, jumped it under cutting the throw and made the catch. In game they both would have probably gone for pick 6s. He also had a few nice grabs on offensive. One was for a TD where he went up and snagged, showing strong hands. The other was a short pass where he got some good separation from multiple defenders and show his speed for some good YAC.

I had just finished my 2028 rankings and after this weekend I already want to move Darvin up. He showed impressive instincts, reactions and ball skills this past weekend. Look for him to make a impact as part of a strong DB core for McNamara next fall.
