Just Now: 7-Foot-5, 265-Pound 5-Star Defensive Lineman Brady Cook Officially Signs with Tennessee Volunteers, Breaking the SEC Draft Record

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – College football history was made today as Brady Cook, the 7-foot-5, 265-pound defensive lineman from Texas, officially signed with the Tennessee Volunteers, shattering the SEC’s size record for an incoming freshman.

Cook, a once-in-a-generation talent, had been the subject of intense recruiting battles, with Alabama, Georgia, and LSU all vying for his signature. But in the end, it was Tennessee’s Coach Josh Heupel who sealed the deal, convincing Cook to bring his towering presence to Neyland Stadium.

“This is the biggest commitment in Tennessee history—literally and figuratively,” Heupel said with a grin at the press conference. “Brady’s a game-changer. You don’t see a guy with his size, speed, and technique come around often. He’s going to dominate the SEC.”

Cook, standing nearly a foot taller than most offensive linemen, is expected to be a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. His combination of length and agility makes him an unstoppable force at the line of scrimmage, with many analysts already comparing him to NFL Hall of Famer Calais Campbell—only bigger.

“I picked Tennessee because I want to be a part of something special,” Cook said. “The fans, the energy, and the opportunity to develop here—it just felt right.”

His signing also sets a new record as the largest player ever signed in the SEC, surpassing former Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson’s previous record of 6-foot-5, 332 pounds.

With Cook now officially a Volunteer, the college football world is left wondering: how do you stop a 7-foot-5 defensive lineman?
