Johntay Cook II Transfers to Syracuse After Two College Stints

Former Texas Longhorns wide receiver Johntay Cook II, once a five-star recruit, has committed to Syracuse after brief and tumultuous stints at both Texas and Washington. Cook's college career has struggled to gain traction due to injuries, limited production, disciplinary issues, and multiple legal troubles, including arrests earlier this year. Despite these setbacks, Syracuse head coach Fran Brown is betting on Cook's potential, adding him as part of a significant roster overhaul following the team's recent 10-win season. Cook joins Syracuse as the 15th transfer commitment this offseason and is expected to help fill the void left by key departing receivers. The Orange are looking to maintain their offensive momentum and hope that a change of environment will help Cook revive his once-promising career. His addition is seen as both an opportunity for the team and a fresh start for the player.
