The younger brother of Dalvin Cook, James Cook, is going to be a freshman this year at Miami Central high school. Cook is already 5-foot-10 and 180-pounds, bigger than his older brother was as a ninth grader.

Cook has already seen early success and recognition on the youth level. He was one of five players nominated for the 2014 General Dennis D. Cavin Youth Player of the Year Award, given to the top youth player in the country. He was also named MVP of the Future Stars game held at IMG Academy last summer.
“I’m a running back,” Cook told Noles247 at the IMG 7on7. “Dalvin is fast, but I got speed and power.”
Cook is proud of his older brother and thinks more success is on the way.
“It’s fun to watch him. I think he’s going to win the Heisman this year and then leave for the league early (in two years).”
Even with the success of his brother, James Cook is only a Florida State fan once a year.
“I’m a Miami fan. That’s my hometown, I root for the ‘Canes…except when they play FSU. I gotta root for Florida State,” Cook said.
As Dalvin Cook looks to take his career to the next level, James Cook is just excited to get his started.
“I like playing running back. I’ll probably do that unless I get taller. If I get to be 6-foot or taller I might play corner.”
