Dallas Cook to play at MT Tech.
Cook, who had Division 1 interest out of high school and following his time at NDSCS, has officially joined the Montana Tech football team.

"We’re excited," Tech head coach Chuck Morrell said of Cook joining the team. "He’s obviously a talented young man and has a great skill set."

Cook, who set 14 Montana state records in his time at Butte, as well as the single game record for TD passes in a game at NDSCS, will have to sit out this season due to a redshirt to focus on his grades, but will still have two years of eligibility left after the redshirt year.

interesting.

Isn't McQuery (spelling?) the QB there for the next 2 years?

If I remember correctly, Cook turned down offers from both the Cats and Griz out of highschool..... might not have been the best decision on his part.

I thought he was a non qualifier because of grades. Which also appears to still be a problem. Not sure Tech is the best school for someone who struggles academically

This is correct. He was a non-qualifier and has played at a junior college as a result. Very talented. Throws a great ball. Big kid at about 6'6" and 240. A little soft physically but very imposing. I will be surprised if he ever takes a snap at Tech due to grades. He also was throwing to Dalton Daum for a couple of years which helped his numbers.

Not positive but I think he did have an offer from Mick of some sorts. No one here was excited about it, and it may have been a political overture from Mick to Butte. After all, we all knew he was going to go much higher than the Griz or Cats......

Mick went to Central= nothing special for a Bulldog.
Just returned from a funeral in Butte and I happened to ask about Cook. It's grades. Always has been. I think maybe this is more likely an overture from the Tech coach to the Butte community.

The kid can play. No question about it. You don't break 14 state records and not have exceptional ability. He also won a state championship largely because of his efforts. Highly unlikely Butte makes the title game that year without Cook. He had PAC 12 schools look at him but grades have always been an issue. He was a relatively intelligent kid but just didn't work on his grades. I have heard him described as lazy in the classroom and working out. I truly believe Cook has the potential for much greater success, but he has never really had to work hard for anything. He was just always physically bigger than the other kids. If he figures things out, watch out! He will light it up. Unfortunately, I don't ever see him qualifying academically.

Not meant to be smack, but how the hell does he plan to keep his grades at Tech??? Pretty sure that is not an easy school academically.

He had some good receivers. Most of his passes were of the bubble screen variety. Throw it to Daum and watch him go. Cook was big and strong and tough to bring down. He was a man among boys in high school. At his level, I don't think he will have much success.
