WVU transfer running back Cam Cook continues to make preseason top players lists. The most recent outlet to recognize the WVU football star is Roto Baller. They named the former Jacksonville State Gamecock as the number six running back in the country heading into the 2026 college football season. Here is what they had to say about Cook.
6. Cam Cook, West Virginia
2025 stats: 295 rushes, 1,659 rushing yards, 16 rushing touchdowns, 30 receptions, 286 receiving yards, zero receiving touchdowns
Cook led the country in rushing yards last season at Jacksonville State, a program that has only been in the FBS for three seasons.
It takes a great player to do that, no matter the level of competition he faced in the Conference USA. Now, he heads to the Big 12 to play for Rich Rodriguez, where he’ll undoubtedly be a focal point of the offense. He should make a significant impact in Morgantown.
The offseason accolades will likely continue to roll in for the talented senior. Will the nation’s leading rusher live up to the hype? It’ll be fun for WVU fans to watch it all unfold this Fall.
Stay tuned to WV Sports Chat for continued coverage of WVU football.
