Arkansas football will host former Texas and Washington transfer wide receiver Johntay Cook II for a visit that starts Thursday, HawgBeat confirmed.
A 6-foot-0, 185-pound native of Texas, Cook was a five-star prospect in the class of 2023. He originally signed with the Longhorns, where he played from 2023-24 and racked up 16 catches for 273 yards and two touchdowns.
Cook entered the transfer portal during the winter transfer portal window in 2024 and ended up at Washington, but he was reportedly dismissed from the Huskies in January for reasons unknown.
During the 2024 season, Cook started off strong with three catches for 56 yards against Colorado State in the season-opener. He followed that up with a two-score performance agianst UTSA, but only collected one catch against Louisiana-Monroe and Mississippi State, respectively.
Other programs in the hunt for Cook are Houston, Oklahoma, BYU, Indiana and Syracuse, the latter of which hosted the wideout for a visit recently.
