Maxen Hook

Eagles signed S Maxen Hook.

Hook (6’0/202) brings four years of consistent production and old-school toughness to the 2025 class. A three-time first-team All-MAC selection and two-year captain, Hook racked up 107 tackles in 2024 and posted an elite 83.8 run-defense grade. Hook thrives downhill, keying the run with urgency and closing space in a hurry. His 681 career special teams snaps and blocked punt reflect his blue-collar motor and value on coverage units. He displays good athleticism for the position, having run an 83rd percentile 6.92s 3-Cone and a 4.55s 40-yard dash (82nd percentile) for a commendable 8.51 RAS. Hook’s pursuit range and physicality pop on tape, but his aggressive angles led to missed tackles and eye discipline concerns. He’s scheme-versatile in box or two-high roles, but lacks the quick-twitch movement and man-coverage chops to handle NFL slot receivers. Ball production and blitz impact are also modest. Hook’s physical brand of football and reliable tackling (70 stops in 2024) should leave him a clear path to a core special teams role and backup safety duties.
