Class of 2023 WR Johntay Cook (TX) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (5/1/25)

[David321]

Do yourself a favor and check out his HS highlights on YouTube. The language in the videos are strong but he was clearly a 5 star WR out of high school.

With some discipline I think he could easily be the most dangerous WR in our conference.

This should be interesting - kid has all the elite skill set pieces you’d want. If he can put it together, it’s going to be fun to watch.

The problem i for us, in our situation...if he does well and blows up, he will want a bigger bag than we can offer. We are a stepping stone program!

This is like those people who won a free car on Oprah and were then furious upon learning they had to pay taxes on the car.

I actually don’t think this is the likely outcome. If he does well here and has a shot at the pros, I think he will look at this as a stable situation. He’s been to the bigger schools and it didn’t work out. I am more worried about a more under the radar guy that starts here and blows up but probably doesn’t have NFL skills. Those guys need to maximize now.

You wonder if he does the same for Johntay Cook if this goes on more time…

And then what happened

 

[Orangefan1]

His burst of speed is really something, it’s all up to him now

kcsu tends to err on the hopeful/optimistic side of things and isn't connected as well as a few others in here. No offense, kc. For what it's worth your messaging does pull me back from the ledge when things seem bleak.

That aged well Franco

Yeah, taking McCord for one season really didn’t work out did it.

Tennessee just got put on notice. The boys from the North are coming.

Pants below the knees and we got this!

Oprah on a football recruiting board? David for shame! Eat 50 hot chicken wings, slug 5 beers and throw Scarface on stat!!

Fran getting some love

Johntay is a slot receiver, like Trevor, and has a shot at putting up some big numbers there in our offense.

Hopefully he is willing to fight hard for 50-50 balls and work his butt off.

Could be very impactful.

I do not know what this means sir.

I heard on Locked On Syracuse that he was more of an outside receiver but can also play the slot. So I'm not sure what Fran is going to do with him. Who knows maybe even both.

The last time SU played Tenn. The southern referees kept calling uniform penalties against SU for pants not within NCAA rules. What a joke. SU should have won that game.

That's why I'd never want to win the lottery. Imagine the taxes I'd have to pay. No thanks.

I almost forgot...

I would expect Nixon will move him around. A guy like this is lethal in motion. The defense has to account for him at all times. His burst/speed will be a problem. You ideally want to play physical with him but you better pray you get a good jam on him or you’re going to be in his highlight package. If you play him soft he’s going to break you off on the route stem. Guys like this are five stars for a reason. IF he keeps himself out of trouble, he has the ability to be a first round pick.

I would also expect Nixon to manufacture touches. Line him up in the backfield, jet sweeps, tunnel screens, etc.

I thought we ran out of money and then we signed 3 veteran offensive lineman who should compete to start right away, a solid QB who a lot of people hoped would jump in the portal over the winter and a WR who instantly makes us forget about Trebor Pena. Fran is a force of nature. DA-RELENTLESS-T
