When Malcolm Cook came out of Fork Union Military Academy (the undergrad team), big things were expected. After all, he was a highly touted recruit. He was rated 3 stars by ESPN, Rivals and Scout, while 247sports rated him 4 stars. He had offers from nearly every ACC team as well as some SEC teams, and was also recruited by members of the Big 12, Pac 12 and Big 10.
Cook came to college with a reputation as a bigger safety who had cover skills and was also capable of making a big hit in run support.
