Really wanted him to work out at Texas, and hope he gets the help he needs.
He smoked something that was laced…..
Same situation with arik Gilbert
👊🏾
Former Washington player don’t put Texas in this mess 😂
He wasn’t even at Washington for a week before he got cut lmao
Facts. Washington lol
That part
Right former u-dub WR 😂
Bro wasn’t even at Washington for 3 days
johntay cook is on a streak of horrible decisions.
👊🏾
Your reputation is everything and a good one stems from work ethic. Pray for this young man to rebound from whatever bad is chasing him. now I hope he finds a coach that will give him a chance.
👊🏾
We a real sec school now with old players getting arrested🔥🔥🔥🔥😂😂 all jokes aside idk what happened to this guy. Played against him in highschool and he was unstoppable. Prayers for him!
🙃
Literally catching TD passes from Arch Manning in 2024 to Jail in 2025. wild.
👊🏾
Bro had the perfect setup for next year at Texas but went and lost his damn mind. Got a second shot in Washington and went and lost his damn mind.
Wish the best for him and all, but bro, obviously something or someone got into his brain and convinced him that he doesn't have to do anything and it's going to cost him a great baller life.
BTW... why like 9 out of 10 times is it a WR?
👊🏾
Yeah that agiye hall, Cook, And also Amari niblack. Apparently Niblack had problems getting to class and workouts on time which is why bama let him go and now he is leaving Texas because of the same problems.
Sticking up for players and emphasizing humanity was not on my bingo card for you. Congrats bro, hope you keep this energy 🙏 love wins
👊🏾
It's Obvious there was a lot going on behind the scene at Texas with Johntay. I will commend Texas and Coach Sark for not making this known to the public. Texas was giving him another opportunity to start all over with another program and do great things. I'm sure there were many people at Texas that was trying to guide him in the right direction. He has no one to blame but himself.
👊🏾
He was most likely upset about playing time and some people said he was letting it be known in the locker rooms and he was talking down on others.
We really wanted the absolute best for Johntay and saw big things in his future in Burnt Orange.. the burned bridges on his way out i washed my hands of him.. still wish him well tho.
👊🏾
Man I hope cook can get it together this is not what I imagined for the young man career
👊🏾
I'm nobody, but it seemed he was given 2nd chances at Texas. No one kid can be allowed to ruin culture. Johntay needs a "reboot".....probably on a spiritual level. Good video and good thoughts from you sir.
👊🏾
Yes
👊🏾
Man you a real one RJ. I hear it in your voice you really care. Sakute to you fam. Hook em 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
👊🏾
I really hope this young man can have an intervention. He’s too gifted to throw it away. He’s still got a chance to right his coarse. His options are limited now but he’s not lost yet and still has opportunities out there for him to pursue his dreams.
👊🏾
Well put RJ! You took it out of the business.
👊🏾
I liked Cook because of his big personality. He’s decided to go the full Antonio Brown route it looks like though 🙃
👊🏾
RJ is a real one for the ending comments on this video.
👊🏾
Charged with a theft of property between $100-$750? You know this kid got some NIL money while he was at Texas. I just hope this young gets some help before he throws it all away.
He's a young man on a streak of seemingly bad choices. Hopefully he grows and learns from all this. I was so excited for him at Texas and still think he can pull it together. Needs to take a breath.
👊🏾
Over the course of my career at Ohio State I’ve seen the extensive services we have for athletes. I had the opportunity to be an academic advisor to some of our athletes, not football lol. I can remember one who I’m very proud of what he’s done with his career. There a lot of behind the scenes people at these institutions and you to do invest personally in the people/athletes so when something like this happens it’s really disappointing.
👊🏾
Most pray, hope, and dream to be even half as talented as guys like Cook & Lacey. I’m praying that God directs their steps and that they get back on the right path that leads to them making plays on the field. They’re super young & will learn from this all. I made terrible decisions at their age (I still do tbh 😅) and my life wasn’t under a magnifying glass like theirs is.
👊🏾
As a Longhorn fan it’s sad to watch guys with so much opportunity at their fingertips not have the maturity to take advantage of such a gift. So many high schoolers dream of having half the opportunity Cook had because they love playing the game and see this guy potentially throwing it away. But that’s life, some guys just don’t get it.
👊🏾
I always was a big Johntay fan. He had such a bright future . Not sure what happened I could tell he had a lot maturing to do when I saw him going at it with random people on IG. You never see high profile athletes arguing with random people on the net and he would all the time . I hope he can find some peace . He can still redeem himself but it’s gonna take a lot of work .
👊🏾
Way before this arrest probably 6 minths ago, I thought there was something happened with Johntay and I hope he gets help. So young and talented. I don't know man. It's sad.
👊🏾
1:30 idk if you meant for this to sound like a bit of a dig at Deandre Moore, but that man is a BEAST.
Didn't mean it to be a dig at all. He is a beast.
R. J. I have been a Sooner Fan since 1956. At the age of 77 I appreciate it when folks act in a redemptive manner. Barry was a mast of mentoring at risk kids. Kudos to Saban for the same reason. I got my silly self straight in 1966. The Marines got me right and instilled life skills. I pray Johntay can too.
👊🏾
That’s a former Washington wr 😂
no hes all yours bro😂
@ 😂😂
...
@@dawgnationsickem he don't f with us, that's Washington guy
I know we (Texas) parted ways with him "for cause".
Guess now we know the cause.
Sadly, reminds me of Ramonce Taylor.
👊🏾
Romance was selling weed when college players were broke …jhontay was on a nil deal and got a attitude problem and can’t keep his hands to himself they completely different
Hope he doesn't take the Agie hall route.
I see signs of a struggle with mental health.
👊🏾
Had to know that if his targets got incrementally smaller and smaller as the season went on and noone made a 'fuss' over his early announcment that he was portal bound, that something was up. Then of course less than 2 weeks on campus at UW, it was pretty obvious there was issues between percepted value and reality of the player. Sad to see...
👊🏾
Man ever since AB i look at all this stuff different
👊🏾
Standard operating procedure. Practically a tradition.
🙃
College football seemed to me the only legal place to let out your physical aggression. The problem schools forget where these kids come from. Instead of redirecting years of neglect they get rid of the young adult when they need the most help.
But also if the young adult bails what can you do?
For the record never been a Texas fan.
👊🏾
Ryan Pellum Jr seemed like a steal for the Ducks getting him to flip from USC, but after he got arrested for pistol whipping someone, I'm glad he's in the portal...
👊🏾
I usually agree with this but you can’t keep a kid that is stealing stuff out of his teammates lockers.
👊🏾
When there IS a business relationship due to NIL, sometimes the best thing to do is "fire" the kid. It's a real-world lesson that employment comes with rules and responsibilities. If you don't follow the rules, or refuse to meet your responsibilities, you get fired. He clearly had two chances to fix whatever is wrong with his mindset, but didn't. Someone is likely to give him a shot, but there won't be NiL money attached because he's shown that it's a bad investment. He is now going to learn that actions have consequences, and his behavior or attitude just cost him a lot of money. If he refuses to sign anywhere without NIL money attached, then there was nothing a team would have been able to do to help him anyway.
👊🏾
Seems like he may need a coach to help him get back on track. Maybe texas will take him back considering sarks history. Im just postulating bc idk the guy, but seems like he needs a role model and someone to level with him. Wish em best.
👊🏾
Holy smokes. Just hearing this.
👊🏾
Naw, he was most recently a Huskie, don’t put that on us 😂
...
Cook is an example of when you don’t discipline your kids
🙃
On par for a sub par program👍🏼
👊🏾
If you watched his show on tube you can see the kid was full of himself yes he was confident but selfish in a way it was all about him i wish him the best 🙏🏾
👊🏾
As talented as he is and while the charges arent serious this makes him liability to any program. This could have consequences that can be devastating to a football career. After the ray rice thing teams are prone to shy away from players engaging in criminal activity.
👊🏾
I just want him to get help. Damn the football, I hope he gets help before he reaches a point of no return.
👊🏾
Said it 3 months ago when the issues started being public, Texas didnt need the headache. Hes a diva and not as talented as he needs to be to be one.
👊🏾
Bill Bernbach whose ad agency started a creative revolution in advertising in the 1960s:
"When we started our agency, we had in mind precisely the kind of people we wanted with us. There were two requirements: You had to be talented and you had to be nice. If you were nice but without talent, we were very sorry, but you just wouldn’t do. We had to ‘make it.’ And only great talent would help us do that. If you were a great talent, but not a nice person, we had no hesitation in saying ‘No.’ Life is too short to sacrifice so much of it, to living with a bastard.”
RJ who do you have winning Superbowl?
Philly.
He a complete fool🤦🏽💯🙏🏾
🙃
He's wasting his career an opportunity to get some good NIL money.
👊🏾
From what I heard, Cook was having fights in practice with his teammates when he was in Texas. He was a bad teammate.
👊🏾
And a few woman-beatings. One of those teammate fights resulted from a teammate's awareness, and that was either the end of the UT relationship or the beginning of the awareness of a penchant for woman-beating.
Johntay come'on down to UTSA and get your head right surround yourself with good people and get to work!
👊🏾
Why did you get rid of the long hair man?
Why do you care?
🔥
👊🏾
Why dude always say he not on a step mill? wtf that even mean
Exactly.
Former Washington WR.
...
Oh, no question about it-this kid was *born* for the spotlight. Who needs grades or common sense when you’ve got NBA YoungBoy’s playlist and a knack for making impulsive decisions? Honestly, it’s a mystery how he even got to Texas-was it luck, or did someone just think, “Hey, this guy looks like he could handle a little chaos”? NIL deals? Sure, that was his big shot-if only he knew what an “NIL deal” actually *was*. But hey, who needs strategy when you’ve got a PhD in self-sabotage? Maybe there’s hope, though. After all, even a broken clock is right twice a day, right?
👊🏾
Nothing new in sports from H.S. College and Professional. He will have to deal with his problems and issues.
👊🏾
Naw that’s the huskies wr Texas
...
I pray that young man finds JESUS. I pray he turns his life around and gets help. He has a ton of talent, but something is off with his head.
👊🏾
I would say he’s not available lol
🙃
He was problematic at the last stop. He's done. Too many other good players who are clean.
👊🏾
Next up. Last chance U in Kansas.
👊🏾
Go juco
👊🏾
He’s a duck. 🦆
👊🏾
He will star in the next Longest Lard, From Prison
👊🏾
