In a statement released today, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed that wide receiver Johntay Cook II will be leaving the program.
The decision comes after much speculation surrounding Cook’s future with the Longhorns. Sarkisian expressed his support for Cook’s decision, stating that the program would always support its players, regardless of the direction they choose to pursue.
Cook, a highly touted recruit, played a pivotal role in the team’s receiving corps this season. His departure raises questions about the impact on Texas’ offensive plans moving forward.
While the specifics of his next steps remain unclear, the Longhorns coaching staff is focused on the team’s continued growth and success in the upcoming season.
Cook’s exit marks the latest in a series of player departures from the program, but Texas is expected to continue developing its roster and adjusting its game plan.
The Longhorns will now look to other emerging talents to fill the void left by the young wideout.
