Now it’s helping Cousins navigate his current situation with the Vikings, where he doesn’t have a contract beyond next season. That mindset then followed Cousins to his professional career, where he was a backup with the franchise now known as the Washington Commanders before taking over as the starter. That mindset followed Cousins to his college career, where he won the job at Michigan State during his sophomore year and never gave it back. “That certainly happened in my high school career.” “If you win football games, and do your part, and put your work in, the rest will take care of itself,” Cousins said. “I walked off the field the last game of my high school career with no scholarship offers.”Īfter almost every game, Cousins remembers a local reporter from the Holland Sentinel asking different variations of the same question: How was he handling the sea of unknowns?
“I’m going into my senior year with no scholarship offers,” he remembered. He was the starting quarterback for Holland Christian High School at the time, and despite some moderate interest from some schools, he still hadn’t received a scholarship offer. As an 18-year-old growing up in Michigan, Kirk Cousins remembers preparing for college without any knowledge of what lies ahead.
