Johntay Cook Exits Washington Days After Joining

Johntay Cook II, a former Texas wide receiver, has parted ways with the Washington Huskies just days after committing to the program through the transfer portal. Cook, who was a highly-rated recruit and considered a significant acquisition for Washington, spent only about 48 hours on campus before the mutual decision was made. His departure leaves a gap in Washington's wide receiver lineup, as he was the sole receiver acquired through the portal and was anticipated to fill a starting role following the exit of key players. This is not the first time Cook has left a team quickly, having departed Texas during the 2024 season under similar circumstances. Washington will now likely seek additional talent from the transfer portal to bolster their receiving corps. Cook's future prospects remain uncertain as he re-enters the transfer portal, with potential suitors likely weighing his talent against his recent team changes.
