Former Texas WR Johntay Cook seems likely to land at Syracuse

Cook has been in the transfer portal twice this offseason

On3’s Transfer Portal Tracker is signaling to the masses that former Texas Longhorns wide receiver Johntay Cook seems to have finally found a home with Syracuse’s program.

Sports Illustrated also reported on the news.

From SI:

“First announcing he would be leaving the 40 Acres in December 2024, Cook joined the Washington Huskies, only to hit the portal again a little over two weeks later.

Cook played a very minor role in Steve Sarkisian’s offense during his two seasons with the Longhorns, totaling 16 catches for 273 yards and two touchdowns, both coming this year against the UTSA Roadrunners in Week 3.

However, the wide receiver also had his fair share of off-field issues. After being charged with misdemeanor, theft, and interfering with public duties this past February, Cook against found himself in handcuffs after being found in possession of less than two grams of marijuana.”

Cook is a former 5-star recruit in the 2024 recruiting class.

It’s a different shade of orange—debatably, the wrong shade—we let’s wish Cook good luck up north anyway.
