Great to see true frosh making big plays. Can only think that these DB guys could be really good given some time.

Also didn't know that his dad played for the Illini and Tampa Bay Bucs:


Prep/Personal: Defensive back and linebacker for head coach Brett Sniffin at Ridge Point High School ... named first team All-District 23-5A as a senior, his lone season at safety ... Touchdown Club of Houston Defensive Player of the Year finalist ... recorded 50 tackles and four pass breakups ... rated the No. 84 safety nationally by ESPN.com ... parents are Shantae Wilson and Jameel Cook, Sr. ... Cook, Sr., played fullback at Illinois (1998-2000) and nine seasons in the NFL (Tampa Bay, 2001-05 and 08-09; Houston, 2006-07) ... won a Super Bowl title with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2003) ...

I really like his aggressive approach to the ball. Hope he never looses that. I like what I see from him.

Yes. And His dad played for Ron Turner at U of I. Bet that made Turner feel old.
