Three-time all-Southeastern Conference linebacker and Super Bowl champion Johnie Cooks<\/a> has died. He was 64.<\/p>\n

Cooks played four seasons at Mississippi State, which released notice of his death on Thursday. A cause of death was not given.<\/p>\n

Cooks finished his college career with 392 tackles and 24 sacks. He twice led Mississippi State in tackles in the 1978 and 1981 season. In 1980, Cooks posted a career-best 24 tackles in a game with Auburn.<\/p>\n

Cooks, from Leland, Mississippi, was perhaps best known for a forced fumble near the goal line that helped preserve the Bulldogs’ 6-3 win over No. 1 Alabama in 1980.<\/p>\n

Cooks was drafted No. 2 overall by Baltimore in 1982 and played 10 seasons in the NFL. He played six with the Colts before joining the New York Giants<\/a>, where was part of their 1990 Super Bowl championship season. He finished his career with the Cleveland Browns in 1991.<\/p>\n

Mississippi State athletic director Zac Selmon extended condolences to Cook’s family. “Johnie will be remembered forever in Starkville as he is cemented as an MSU legend,” Selmon said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Cooks was named to the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame<\/a> in 2004 and is part of the Bulldogs’ Ring of Honor at Davis Wade Stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
