Cook drew interest from schools from the Pac-12 on down to the NAIA, earning preferred walk-on nods from Washington State and Oregon and also getting scholarship offers from both Montana and Montana State, though the Bobcats decided in December to stick with the quarterbacks they have in house.
After leading Butte to the State AA championship as a junior, his first year with the Bulldogs after transferring from Anaconda, Cook amassed some serious statistics and broke several of his own state records as a senior. The QB completed 296 passes in 460 attempts for 4,145 yards and 40 TDs. He also ran the ball for 866 yards on 133 carries for another 16 touchdowns as Butte finished with a 6-5 record and a first-round playoff exit.
