The Texas Longhorns are parting ways with wide receiver Johntay Cook II.

Cook II had seen his usage go down once SEC play began against the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Sept. 28. In that game, he dropped a would-be 62-yard touchdown pass on deep throw from Arch Manning. He eventually added a 31-yard grab later in the contest, but from that dropped pass on, his role severely diminished.

Cook II met with the media for the first time as a Longhorn on Sept. 23 and said that he was really "buying into the program" after an offseason of growth. "Just my growth, overall maturity," Cook II said when asked about his biggest improvement. "Just really my approach to my everyday, schedule, routine, I would say. Just learning from the guys that were before me, and just really buying into the program.""I think it's been great, and I don't even think it's showed all the way, because we've been fortunate to not have that many injuries," Cook II said.

However, it appears his lack of usage has factored into his departure. Cook II ends his Longhorns career with just 16 catches for 273 yards and two touchdowns across two seasons.
