Lake’s Max Cook Sets Football Program Record with 4.36 40-yard-dash
The rising sophomore wideout recently finished second at 4A state track in the 400 meter.
LAKE STEVENS STADIUM — The great MAX COOK — the Lake Stevens Vikings’ rising sophomore wide receiver and Class of 2028 football and track recruit — ran a blistering 4.36 40 at the 2026 Viking Football Spring Combine yesterday, June 1, 2026.
Max — who recently finished second at 4A state in the 400m — set a program record with his 40 time, besting the 4.47 that All State QB Blake Moser posted last year. All State RB Jayvian Ferrell ran a 4.48 last year.
Neither Ferrell or Moser were present at the combine, but both have improved their times over the year, with Moser posting a 4.41 and Ferrell posting a 4.47 at a national recruiting event in Arizona earlier this Spring. Moser is visiting Iowa State and Jayvian was at a family celebration.
Back to Max — the 6’3, 185-pound wideout has somehow sailed under the radar to a degree, despite exceptional performance at a young age.
Cook starred for the 14-1 Viks last year, hauling in 11 TD catches and posting a return TD as well. Max had two 100+ yard games in the final three playoff contests and recorded a highlight TD grab in Husky Stadium in the 4A title game.
The Viks’ rising star already holds an offer from Idaho — where returning All State WR Seth Price recently committed.
After posting this laser-timed 4.36 at Tom Tri’s notoriously strict (no inflated numbers here) combine, Cook is certain to attract additional stack of additional offers.
