Former five-star wide receiver Johntay Cook II has been dismissed from his second collegiate football program within a short span. After parting ways with the Texas Longhorns in November 2024, Cook transferred to the University of Washington Huskies. However, his tenure there was brief, lasting only 17 days before the program dismissed him.
Cook’s departure from Texas was described as a mutual decision by head coach Steve Sarkisian, who expressed respect for Cook and his family, wishing him well in future endeavors. During his time with the Longhorns, Cook played in 20 games over two seasons, recording 15 receptions for 242 yards and two touchdowns.
Following his exit from Texas, Cook transferred to Washington in late December 2024. However, his stint with the Huskies was short-lived, as he was dismissed from the program in mid-January 2025. The reasons for his dismissal have not been publicly disclosed, leading to speculation about the circumstances surrounding his departure.
Johntay Cook II was a highly touted recruit from DeSoto High School in Texas, where he amassed impressive statistics, including 2,965 receiving yards and 50 touchdowns over his high school career. His potential was evident, making his recent dismissals from two major programs a surprising development in college football circles.
As of now, Cook’s future in collegiate football remains uncertain. His recent departures from two programs may impact his prospects, and it is unclear if he will seek opportunities elsewhere or take time to reassess his career path.
