Gaven Cooke brings versatility and ball skills to UC Davis’ secondary
Gaven Cooke enters UC Davis as a 6-foot-1, 180-pound defensive back with a background that suggests real versatility: he was a multi-phase high school playmaker and came to the Aggies as an Iowa transfer. In 2024, he appeared in 12 games and was credited with 20 tackles, 2 interceptions, and a pass breakup, which points to a defender who can stay involved near the ball. The fit is appealing if you want range, toughness, and a DB who has already shown he can contribute in a winning FCS program.
