There is NOTHING about this guy's history that says he won't be successful. Elite wrestler, with division 1 scholarships. I suspect he is as tough as nails and will bust through the line and de-cleat a few LBers as a very effective FB. They said Sam Mills was "too short" to play LB in the NFL, too.
I am glad this guy is on our team. I think he is 'nails' and made of pig iron.
It is not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.
He looks to have that football mindset and I suspect he will make some waves for us. What if all he ever does is be the 2nd coming of Jaime Murphy "The Irish Car Bomb" on punt and kickoff returns? I'll take it!
4 year starter for Ft Dodge and all he did was run OVER people. IIRC he was their whole offenses and defenses knew he was coming. Got stronger as the game went on. I guess we should get someone on here who played against him or coached against him in the CIML and see what they have to say.
Here in DSM the Friday night highlights were rightfully focused on WDM Valley, Dowling and Waukee. But when it came to Ft Dodge highlights the sports anchors were usually saying, "Sam Cook doing what Sam Cook does best." while showing a highlight of him following his blockers, running over tacklers and getting to the end zone.
Sam Cook plays bigger than 5'8 & 215.
Not sure if I am more excited about him or the QB from Pella walking on. Both of these guys are football players. They will make an impact. I am sure of it.
