DeSoto (Texas) four-star wide receiver Johntay Cook II is one of the top wide receivers in the 2023 cycle. The Texas commit demonstrated why in a 42-23 win over Dallas (Texas) South Oak Cliff.

As Cook II sprinted towards the end zone, he was closely guarded by South Oak Cliff four-star cornerback and fellow Texas pledge Malik Muhammad. But that didn’t stop Cook, who leaped into the air and brought down the pass for a touchdown.

Cook is the No. 38 overall prospect and No. 7 wide receiver in the 2023 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 7 player in Texas.

The wideout will soon head to Austin as a member of the No. 5 class in the 2023 On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings. Cook is the third-highest-ranked prospect in the group behind New Orleans (La.) Isidore Newman Five-Star Plus+ quarterback Arch Manning and New Iberia (La.) Westgate five-star safety Derek Williams. Texas’ 2023 recruiting class also No. 1 in the Big 12.

Cook has an On3 NIL Valuation of $278K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Johntay Cook On3 Scouting Summary 

The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Johntay Cook:

“Smooth-moving receiver who is one of the better route-runners in the 2023 cycle. Shows the ability to tempo and toggle speeds within his routes. Can win at all levels of the field. Has long arms with a 6-foot-4 wing-span at 5-foot-11.5. The length helps create a large catch radius. Productive and efficient as a junior while facing top competition at one of the top talent-producing high school programs in Texas. Scored 18 touchdowns on just 38 receptions as a junior. Will need to continue improving on his reliability as a pass-catcher and eliminate concentration drops.”
