Hall of Fame
In the storied history of the Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse program, there are few players who accomplished more as an individual or with their teammates than Jeff Cook. Cook was a four-year regular for the Blue Jays from 1979-82 and helped Hopkins to a cumulative record of 51-5 with two National Championships (1979, 1980) and two national runner-up finishes (1981, 1982). The 13-0 record for the Blue Jays during Cook's freshman year was Hopkins' first unbeaten, untied season since 1941.
Cook wasted little time establishing himself as a dual threat as a scorer and passer. He concluded his career with 128 goals and 91 assists for 219 points and finished his career ranked third in career goals, sixth in career assists and fourth in career points. He still ranks among the top 15 in school history in all three categories and he remains one of just three players in school history with more than 125 goals and 90 assists. In addition, his 80 points in 1981 remain a Johns Hopkins single-season record, while his 52 goals that season are the second-most ever by a Blue Jay lacrosse player.
While the two championships rank at the top of Cook's accomplishments, his list of individual honors is as long as it is impressive. He twice earned First Team All-America honors (1981, 1982) after garnering second team honors as a sophomore (1980). He earned the Enners Award as the nation's top player in 1981 and the Turnbull Award as the nation's top attackman in 1981 and 1982. He was named to the All-Time Johns Hopkins team at the end of his career and was recently inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
