Early years
Alex Cook was born on May 21, 1999, in Sacramento, California. Cook attended Sheldon High School in Vineyard, California, a suburb of Sacramento. He played both offense and defense for the Sheldon High School football team.[2]
College career
Rated as the 220th-best prospect in the nation, Cook chose to attend the University of Washington and play football there. In 2017, Cook redshirted and thus did not play the entire year. The next year, Cook played in twelve games and started one as a wide receiver. Cook changed his position during his redshirt sophomore year, becoming a defensive back and playing in all thirteen games for Washington. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the season for Washington was shortened, and thus Cook only started three out of all four games. Cook then started nine out of the eleven games he played in his redshirt senior year. Because of the shortened season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cook was allowed to play one more season for Washington. In this season, Cook started in all thirteen games and was named to the All-Pac-12 Conference Second team.[3]
