When Marley Cook entered the Portal, Miami had a pretty good idea of what he could do against ACC competition. The 6’2, 305-pound Middle Tennessee transfer was a terror against the Canes in 2022 and finished that season with 49 pressures, fifth among defensive tackles in the nation. He ultimately chose Miami over Ohio State and Baylor. Below is everything he was telling reporters after the latest spring practice:

Rugby guy gonna have a heart attack at that last part
 
Sounds like the perfect compliment inside at DT. Quick and powerful we should hold up versus the run better than we did last season.

I’m very familiar with powerlifting especially in competition with (3) certified judges one in front and one judge on both sides .

This dudes squat is “ legit “he broke parallel and would that would be a good legal squat anywhere in any competition.

Bench “ not “ legitimate and would draw (3) red flags.
Yes it was 500 lbs but NO BODY can touch the bar PLUS he bounces bar off chest , bar MUST pause STOP then power up till lockout.
His real bench is around 450 in competition.

Love to see his deadlift usually it’s very close with that squat his pull is around maybe 710 MAX.

Overall for a teenager kid and that kind of poundage is ANIMAL PURE BEAST .

This kid is HIGHLY ranked nationally in powerlifting in teenage division

In (4) years healthy 800 plus squat real possibility

BEAST

The most I did [at Middle Tennessee] was like 635. They made me stop because they wanted to keep me safe. When I got here, they kept loading the bar. Coach Feld, he's like, “Keep going, keep going.” I looked at it and said, “Yeah, let's get it. It’s on now.”

Every time I see Cook all I can think about is our staff having zero awareness when dropping his bat signal right in the middle of the JJ missing paperwork debacle. I can’t shake it

Hope this kid is great here, because if not that’s what he’ll be remembered for 😂

It’s only funny because we ultimately got Cam. I realize it was more Smith related but having the transfer bat signal at the time when it was happening really ****ed everything up 😂
