Four-star wide receiver Johntay Cook II of Desoto (TX) High has narrowed his list to three schools– Texas, Michigan, and Oregon.

The 6-foot, 180 pounder quickly discussed his finalists.

Texas

“Texas feels like home,” Cook said. “I  love the offense, the culture of the school, and the coaching staff.”

Oregon

“The new regime is amazing,” Cook said. “Coach Lanning is building something great over there.”

Michigan

“The big house is just simply different,” Cook said. “Michigan is an established program and coach Harbaugh is a pro type of coach.”

Johntay Cook II Scouting Summary

“Smooth-moving receiver who is one of the better route-runners in the 2023 cycle,” On3’s Director of Scouting Charles Power wrote. “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.”

Cook ranks as the No. 32 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting sites. He also tabs in as the No.6 wide receiver and the No. 4 player in the state of Texas.
