Expert Analysis

Kahmari Cook Kahmari Cook 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Bennett | 2024 State NY out of Bennett has been a mainstay and leader on a very strong Bennett Tiger defense that only allowed 20+ points in four games and pitched four shutouts and several other games holding opponents to single digits. One of New York States leading tacklers Cook’s defensive production was unreal. 126 Tackles, 3 Sacks, 3 INTs, 7 TFL for Cook showcases his dominance but it is the film that really stands out when you see the skillset he will bring to Saint Francis. His film is broken down by game and each game could be a full seasons worth of highlights for some players. Cook is a physical and violent hitter, while he could wrap up more often he does deliver punishing blows to ball carriers. Cook shows good instincts and the ability to read and track the ball out of the backfield. Cook shows little to no hesitation coming downhill and does a good job of taking good pursuit angles on outside runs. Cook will be a special teams contributor early but as he develops better coverage skills and gets stronger he will surely become a major impact linebacker for the Red Flash.

Kahmari Cook Kahmari Cook 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Bennett | 2024 State NY is one of the most physically gifted players in New York and his athleticism jumps out on tape. Cook’s closing speed and tackling ability in open space are his best traits and if he is not by the ball he knows how to get their and do it fast. Cook is solid in coverage and does a good job of keying the offenses timing and breaking on the ball as soon as its out. In the run game Cook is physical, patient, and gets off blocks well on a consistent basis. Cook should be in for a huge year as Bennett loses some key pieces but where I want to see him take that next step is going above and beyond the plays he is expected to make and creating turnovers or negative plays on a consistent basis.
