Cook burst on to the scene as a sophomore with 78 tackles and 6.5 sacks in route to receiving many postseason accolades. He battled mono the summer before his junior year and played about 15 pounds light the entire season, but still was a second-team all league selection at DE with 58 tackles and 7.5 sacks.

“Right now, I’m getting letters from programs across the nation. The coaches that have shown the most interest are, Oregon, Miami, Boise, Florida, Arizona State, Duke, Washington, Northwestern, Michigan, Missouri, Colorado, New Mexico, and UCLA. Coach Brennan Carroll said he is flying out to see me (in the spring). I am looking forward to meeting him,” said Cook.

Starting to get a lot of attention. Expect our coaches to make some stops at Vista Murrieta during the evaluation period.

Sounds like Miami is in pretty good position here. I post that because Miami is offering a lot of So Cal players this year, which seems very odd.

Doesn't the U still have Carroll on staff?

Yes. Just seems a little dumb to target so many So Cal kids. We are not talking elite players either.

14. Linebacker Tyler Cook from Murrieta (Calif.) Vista Murrieta played his junior season about 25 pounds underweight because of an illness last offseason, but he has bulked up a lot -- and he has not lost speed or agility. Cook had a tough calling going against some outstanding running backs at the Los Angeles RCS, but he did phenomenally well in one-on-one drills. He added a lot of power and toughness at the line to jam the running backs and still had the light feet to be excellent in coverage. The added weight has only benefited him and could help with even more offers in the coming months.

That's the kind of offer list we need when we land a recruit. Good get for BYU on paper.
