15.8 PPG Scorer Misses 2025-26 Season Due to Ankle Injury, Now in Transfer Portal
Andrew Cook, a 6-4 senior guard for Eastern Washington, was a preseason All-Big Sky selection who averaged 15.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 54.4% shooting in the 2024-25 season, proving himself as a high-efficiency scorer with a career-high 28 points in one game[1][4][6]. However, he missed the entire 2025-26 season due to a significant ankle injury announced in October 2025, and has now entered the transfer portal as the first EWU basketball player to do so[5][8]. His differentiator is his bold transition from NAIA (Carroll College) to Division I, where he thrived as a pivotal contributor despite the jump in competition[3]. While his scoring intensity and proven Big Sky readiness make him a potential fit for teams needing immediate offensive firepower, coaches must weigh his injury recovery timeline and uncertainty about his current physical readiness before committing[9].
