He played college football at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, graduating in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mass Communication.

After three coaching changes, Cook emerged as a senior for Southern earning a scholarship and started all 13 games to include the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Championship.

Cook was selected to the 2014 FCS National Bowl All-Star game as a starting defensive back where he tallied 2 tackles, a pass breakup and a key red zone interception.

Cook's 2016 season was abbreviated due to being released from his contract to pursue other football related ventures on April 11, 2016, as he was selected to perform as a Motion Capture Actor for EA Sports and the Madden Video Game franchise.

This led to further opportunities doing sports stunts in Hollywood for shows such as Ballers for HBO and All American on The CW, and Colin in Black & White on Netflix.
