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

[CA Monk]

These are the kinds of guys we need to get.
Well, we can dream.
What’s that?
Really!

[Niastri]

His hands sounded really soft.

That foot-drag thing...

Are you...swooning?
Do you need to be fanned?

Are you...swooning?
Do you need to be fanned?

Just for clarity's sake, yes.

[PhatOrange]

Why is this on the recruiting board? Is he still a prospect?

 

[Sudano]

His hands sounded really soft.

And his thighs so firm...

 

[Niastri]

That foot-drag thing...

I was wondering about that... Any of our resident experts want to weigh in on why that's valuable?

It looks cool... Probably not why he's practicing it.

Right? That's all I was getting at.


It just looks so...PRO to me.

 

[wfschrec]

This is why I've been so high on him. A lot of Texas fans across multiple programs who have been following this kid for a while have said this kid will be a big problem for opponents. In our system if he keeps it together he will have people saying "Trebor who?".

It lures in prey.

Cool. What happens when he gets jammed off the line?

 

[crales44]

He works through the jam. He's probably aware that happens and works on that, too. Sorry he didn't include everything in a minute long video on social media for you.

 

[hoopsupstate]

He’s also built like a truck. He will punish defenders if they can catch him.

I already do.

 

[TheHaze315]

Cool. What happens when he gets jammed off the line?

We’ll get called negative for this but that’s exactly what I thought too. If you don’t look good getting off against air you probably shouldn’t be playing football. Let me see him get off a press before I start thinking “Trebor who”

Sorry, I've seen enough Ben Simmons videos to not take any stock in a curated workout video.

Get excited all you want.

Is there a reason you do not like this guy? Like was he bad at working through contact before he got to Cuse? Or you can tell he is bad at it just from watching a small video? Why all this attitude?

Because he was against Brown bringing him in in the first place.

And here we are.

 

[cuse702]

He's an athletic freak. 6'0 190 4.3 speed 36 inch vertical coming out of HS. He can just do things physically that other WRs can't, especially in the slot. He's technically sound as well and that's why he got early playing time at a school like Texas. If he puts it all together on and off the field, he might just be a one year guy here and off to the NFL.

Seldom was Pena pressed in the slot and I suspect Cook will see similar coverages. Your disdain for him is around his legal history fine we get it, but this straw man argument isn't reflective of reality.

Lets not act like Pena was fighting through press coverage on every snap. The Pitt game is a prime example ... they didn't have to press they ran trail coverage and took away the back shoulder play that we constantly abused teams with.
