MAKENA COOK

Scouting Report

Cook's junior season cemented her as the most prolific passer in women's flag football: 7,083 yards and 112 touchdowns at a 74% clip, earning MaxPreps California Junior of the Year. But the headline is bigger than stats — Cook received a scholarship offer from Nebraska, delivered in person by head football coach Matt Rhule, making her the first female athlete to receive a Power 4 flag football offer in history. She came back from a broken leg suffered in February 2025 and threw four touchdowns in her first game back. On the national team circuit, she played wide receiver and safety for the USA 15U squad and was named MVP of the Junior International Cup — proving she's not just an arm but a legitimate two-way player. Her only losses came to undefeated, nationally-ranked #1 JSerra (0-3). Also a Georgia soccer commit, her dual-sport athleticism is rare. Career total: 209+ touchdowns in two seasons. The Nebraska offer changes everything — this is the player who will define what the recruiting pathway looks like for flag football.
