Life for Cox has been more downs than ups; he is one of three children left alone more than he dares to remember. Having to take on the role of parenthood for the sake of his sisters made Cox a stronger person. In 1996 he was ordered to live with his father because of the ongoing drug problems amongst his family. Maybe this was the break that Cox needed to make it through the hard times and the abusive relationships his mother always seemed to get herself into.

Dora Classic All-Tournament team, the Junior Orange Bowl All-Tournament, Dade County All-Star, and he received an honorable mention All-County defensive back. This same star quality got Cox into Florida Gulf Coast University in Ft. Myers, Florida as quickly as his SAT scores got him out, but it will take a lot more than a test score to put this young soldier out the game. He did not stop there Cox, went on to Broward Community College where he went on to become on the All Freshman Team in the Southern Conference. Cox help lead his team to a remarkable 24-5 record where his team was ranked 19th in the USA.
