BREAKING: Texas sophomore receiver Johntay Cook no longer in the program
Inside Texas has learned Texas sophomore receiver Johntay Cook is no longer in the program. On the season, Cook has 8 receptions for 137 yards (17.1 yards per catch) and two touchdowns.
A key point, however, is Cook has not logged a reception since the Mississippi State game on September 28th.
In recent weeks we’ve seen a solid rotation of Isaiah Bond (when not hurt), DeAndre Moore, and Matthew Golden. In addition, star freshman Ryan Wingo and senior Silas Bolden have seen their reps increase.
IT doesn’t feel the need to divulge the “locker room” aspects of this separation but it had been coming to a head for a while.

Steve Sarkisian Comments on Departure of Texas Longhorns WR Johntay Cook II
Sarkisian said that the decision was mutual between Cook II and the team.
“It was mutual between the two of us," Sarkisian said.
Sarkisian added that these kind of roster changes are "going to happen" when there's so much talent on the team at once.
Just sayin': Not all wide receivers (WRs) arrive with the "tools" that Jeremiah Smith came in with; they usually have to "wait their turn", etc. Sometimes (for whatever reason,) they aren't willing to do that.
