Only a day after committing to Georgia, becoming the latest star in the Bulldogs’ incredible 2018 class, RB James Cook had another great day on Friday.
In his team’s win, the Miami native filled in at defensive back for an injured teammate and made the most of it.
As you can see in the video below, shared by @Mansell247 on Twitter, Cook snags an interception and returns it more than 90 yards for a touchdown:

Cook, a running back by trade, then took a snap from the Wildcat formation and (with a little help from a terrible call by the referee) scored another touchdown:

Then, on his very next defensive snap, Cook had yet another pick-six, this time from a little closer to the end zone:

Though Cook likely won’t see any time in the secondary at Georgia, his raw athleticism will have Bulldog fans excited to see what he can do when he arrives on campus next year.
