Johntay Cook

Let's start with Dallas (TX) South Oak Cliff 2023 All-American CB Malik Muhammad. He's been the Texas A&M target I have most recently been predicting as who's next mainly due to him stating a commitment decision could possibly come around the end of spring ball. Last night, SOC's spring ball came to a close, so I put him on the spot. He told me he wants to take a few summer OVs and hopefully make a decision at the end of the summer. That leads me to change my thoughts on him being next, but the Aggies remain in a great spot. Coach Durkin stopped by Wednesday's practice and the two are building a strong bond. He knows he wants to take an OV to Texas A&M, and even if he does not take an OV this summer, I bet he makes it back to College Station this summer. Texas A&M commit Jayvon Thomas is also staying in his ear. Last night he reiterated Alabama, Texas, and Texas A&M are coming on hot and those are the schools I hear to watch the closest. Texas has gained momentum recently and his recent unofficial visit to Austin a few weeks has helped their cause. That said, I continue to get the feeling this one is likely to come down to Texas A&M and Alabama.There has been a lot of positivity coming out of Austin about DeSoto standout Johntay Cook, even more than usual in recent weeks, and there is no doubt the Longhorns are high on his list. He told me a few weeks ago the Aggies and Longhorns may have a slight edge over his other top schools. However, my confidence remains high about the Aggies' chances, and I for one expect the Aggies to be right in the middle of things. This one definitely has the feel of an in-state battle between the Aggies and the Longhorns right now, but I also expect a few momentum swings before things are all said and done.
