Ball State’s 6-6, 294-lb OL Anchor with Postseason All-MAC Nomination
Tristan Cook, a 6-6, 294-pound offensive lineman for Ball State, started all 12 games in the 2025 season and earned a nomination for postseason All-MAC honors, showcasing elite consistency and durability with no reported injury history. His differentiators include intense game-day focus, a team-first personality highlighted in Ball State’s ‘Heart of the Cardinal’ series, and physical dominance at 300 pounds (per 247Sports) that translates to reliable pass protection and run-blocking. Cook’s 72 overall EA Sports rating reflects steady growth from 66 in 2026, signaling upward trajectory. For teams seeking a high-intensity, battle-tested OL with proven MAC-level performance and leadership, Cook is a strong fit—especially in schemes prioritizing physicality and reliability over flashy stats.
