A key point, however, is Cook has not logged a reception since the Mississippi State game on September 28th.
In recent weeks we’ve seen a solid rotation of Isaiah Bond (when not hurt), DeAndre Moore, and Matthew Golden. In addition, star freshman Ryan Wingo and senior Silas Bolden have seen their reps increase.
IT doesn’t feel the need to divulge the “locker room” aspects of this separation but it had been coming to a head for a while.

Cook is a promising talent who signed in the 2023 class with much fanfare. The five-star from DeSoto committed the summer heading into his senior year after being a long-time Texas lean. Along with Arch Manning, he was a leading voice in what would ultimately become the No. 3 recruiting class in the country.
