Excellence on the Field
The Jacksonville Jaguars selected Cooke, punter, as the seventh-round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, and he is currently the longest-tenured player on the roster. Cooke has appeared in 119 career games, the most for a punter in franchise history, averaging 47.4 gross yards and 43.5 net yards per punt before the 2025 season. His gross average is the sixth best in NFL history, with his net being the best since the NFL began tracking in 1976. In 2024, Cooke was selected as a second team Associated Press All-Pro player, and in 2025, he was recognized for his talent when he made his first Pro Bowl appearance. Logan is a leader in the locker room with his wealth of knowledge and experience as a seven-year veteran. The Jacksonville Jaguars' new leadership, head coach Liam Coen and General Manager James Gladstone, recognized Logan's talent and signed him to a four-year extension following day one of 2025 minicamp.
Dedication & Commitment to Community Efforts This Year
In 2025, with the partnership of Zoe Ministries and the Logan Cooke Foundation, two more water wells projects were completed in Namodo, a solar pump, and Cheptungus, a hand pump, together serving nearly 2,000 people who no longer have to walk five to six kilometers daily just for water. The strong partnership continues to be at the forefront of Cooke's philanthropic efforts as he introduced "Punting for Clean Water," a fundraising initiative where he will donate $1,000 for every punt inside the 20-yard line during the 2025-26 season. Through the first half of the season, Logan has already committed $10,000 for landing ten punts within the 20-yard line. The goal of this project is to raise $20,000 to help build more accessible water wells through Zoe Ministries and the Logan Cooke Foundation. Fans are encouraged to support by donating any amount of money for each eligible punt Logan makes. Logan and his Foundation are determined to make a larger impact and create change whenever the opportunity arises. Logan is also extremely involved with the Jaguars Community Tuesdays, reading to students at local schools, participating in football camps, and more. During the season, he has invited children and young adults fighting cancer to Jaguars home games, providing them with an unforgettable experience on the sidelines and surprising them with customized jerseys as he recognizes their courage and determination to fight. He has made a name for himself on the field and here in Northeast Florida with his commitment to community. Logan also plans to continue the Ronald McDonald Holiday House Party tradition this year, where he has now been able to bring his family into the fold, bringing holiday cheer to those in need while providing an unforgettable experience and lasting impact.
Dedication & Commitment to Community Efforts in Years Past
Before the formation of the Logan Cooke Foundation, Logan and his wife, Mary, partnered with Zoe Ministries, an organization founded in 2017 focused on orphan care, access to clean water, and women's empowerment in rural Kenya, to personally fund the creation of wells for clean water access. After their first donation, and now since 2021 with the founding of the Logan Cooke Foundation, the organizations have partnered together to bring clean, life-giving water to East Africa. Logan and his wife have personally witnessed the impact their work has had on over 5,000 community members with the introduction of four boreholes, which provide access to safe water, better health, and new opportunities for the future. In the summer of 2024, Logan travelled to Kenya with the founder of Zoe Ministries to see the impact they have been making with the existing wells they had funded and assisted with the process of looking for potential sites for new wells. Logan stated, "Getting to see the actual smiles on the faces you've been getting pictures of for years just strengthened the case for our partnership with Zoe." In 2024, they raised just over $100,000, which will fund five to six new wells that are actively being worked on, with 100% of the proceeds raised through the Logan Cooke Foundation directly benefiting Zoe Ministries. In 2020, Logan and some of his fellow Jaguar's teammates pulled together funds to purchase gifts during the holiday season for Wolfson Children's Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House. The following year, Logan and members of the special teams visited the Ronald McDonald House for their annual Holiday House Party. They purchased specialized gifts to hand out to children based on their wish lists and spent the evening with families receiving lifesaving treatment for different cancers. Since 2022, Logan has been the driving force behind this tradition, visiting patients at the Ronald McDonald House for their holiday party, bringing smiles to patients' families with gifts and time spent doing arts and crafts, puzzles, dancing, and more. During his time in Jacksonville, Logan has also participated in team hospital visits and the Tim Tebow Foundation's annual Night to Shine, as he accompanied a special needs individual to their annual dance.
Positive Character & a Lifestyle of Giving Back
After achieving his dream of playing in the National Football League, Logan realized he had the platform to give back in more ways than one. Shortly after being established in Jacksonville, and with the new platform he gained, he and his wife were determined to make a difference. While the impact of Zoe Ministries and the Logan Cooke Foundation is primarily seen in Kenya, their drive and passion to continue making a difference are apparent in the consistent work and impact seen since his foundation's inception. Not only is he a positive light, lifting his teammates and being a leader in the locker room, but he also created a lasting difference in the lives of thousands behind the scenes with his fundraising efforts. Along with his foundation, Cooke is involved in Northeast Florida year-round, spending time with families fighting childhood cancer during the holidays to hospital visits throughout the season; he is consistently in the community making a difference.
