It’s been a busy couple of months for Butte High’s Dallas and Dylan Cook. The brothers have hit the road in an effort to take their game to the next level.
“Since we don’t play spring sports, we get an opportunity to get a jump start on football camps so we can continue to get better,” said Dallas Cook, the reigning Class AA offensive MVP.
Dallas Cook, who will be a senior during the 2013 season, passed for a school record 3,613 yards and 32 touchdowns during Butte High’s run to the state championship. He also shattered the school’s record for total yards with 4,516. Dylan Cook, who will be a sophomore, quarterbacked the junior varsity team for the Bulldogs last season.
The brothers attended the Football University (FBU) Camp in Seattle on May 17-19. Actually, they more than attended, they excelled at the invitation-only and world-renowned camp that featured 22 quarterbacks from Idaho, Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona and Georgia.
Dallas placed second in the camp and earned an invitation to FBU’s ultimate football camp, the Top Gun camp next month in Dublin, Ohio.
Top Gun is the culmination of all positions taught at FBU camps throughout the United States, Canada and Europe, inviting the elite players from each camp.
FBU coaches Chris Miller, a former Atlanta Falcons quarterback, and Chad Carpenter, who played QB for the Arizona Cardinals, praised both Cook boys for their footwork, technique and quick release. Dylan finished in the top 10 of the high school class.
The Cook brothers were invited to the Nike Football Training Camp in Eugene, Ore. Both boys threw well at the June 9 camp, working with talented receivers. The brothers worked on deep placing the ball over the outside shoulder on deep fade routs, while also working on check downs to backs and tight ends during 7-on-7 drill.
Dallas Cook was also invited to attend the University of Southern California’s Rising Stars Cap, which is this week, and the Washington State University Individual Minicamp, which was last week.
Along with Butte High coach Arie Grey, Cook and some Bulldog teammates competed in the Oregon Ducks team camp recently. The Bulldogs competed against tough competition from Idaho, Alaska, Hawaii and Samoa.
The Bulldogs competed over the weekend at the nationwide 7-on-7 tournament in Seattle. There, Butte High advanced to the semifinals of the tournament sponsored by the National Guard and the NFL High School Player Development program. Tacoma, Wash., beat the Butte High boys by three points in the semifinals.
The Bulldogs open camp for their title defense in August.
