Dalvin Cook (born August 10, 1995) is an American football running back. He played college football at Florida State. Cook holds the school's career rushing yards record with 4,464.
Cook attended Miami Central High School in West Little River, Florida, where he played football and ran track. As a senior, he rushed for 1,940 yards and 24 touchdowns on 177 carries and was the winner of the Mr. Football Award for Florida.
In track & field, Cook was one of the state's top sprinters. He recorded a personal-best time of 22.10 seconds in the 200-meter dash at the 2013 Sam Burley Invitational, where he placed 13th. At the 2013 FHSAA 3A Region 4, he ran the third leg on the Miami Central 4 × 100 m relay and 4 × 400 m relay squads, helping them win both events with times of 41.15 seconds and 3:17.58 minutes, respectively. In the preliminary rounds of the 2013 GMAC North Qualifier, he was clocked at 10.08 seconds (heavily wind-aided) in the 100-meter dash, but would later run a 10.92 to earn a fifth-place finish in the finals.
Regarded as a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Cook was ranked as the second best all-purpose back in his class. He originally committed to Clemson University and then the University of Florida under coach Will Muschamp in the spring of 2013. But after Florida’s 4-8 season that year, the 5-star running back began wavering on his pledge—privately. Despite officially visiting other schools, Cook claimed he was “100 percent” committed to the University of Florida in every interview.
