Texas wide receiver Johntay Cook II has left the program, according to ESPN's Max Olson.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed his departure.

"We've had some roster movement today with Johntay Cook moving on," Sarkisian told reporters in a media call. "We have nothing but respect for he and his family. Wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors."

Cook caught eight passes for 136 yards as a true freshman in 2023, and that production mirrors his 2024 return (eight receptions, 137 yards, two touchdowns).
