Johnson-Cook spoke with 247 after being offered by Texas.

His film is worth the watch if you haven't seen it yet.

"I was born and raised in Decatur, Illinois and I moved to Arizona for two years when I was in fifth grade. And then I moved back up to Illinois my seventh grade year, and I was there in Illinois for my eighth grade year and half of my freshman year. After football season my freshman year, I moved down to Katy, and then I stayed at Katy for about six months and went through offseason with them. And then I moved up to DeSoto in July and I've been here ever since."

"It was kind of out of the blue," Johnson-Cook said. "I went to the coaches office to say what's up to coach, and the recruiting coordinator at my school was like 'come here, you gotta call somebody' and then he showed me and he was like 'it's Texas!'. He said I had to call them at a certain time, so I did. Got on facetime with coach Josh (Dunson) and coach (Chad) Scott too. And he offered me and said he liked my film and stuff like that. So that's really how it went down, it was kind of out of the blue."

"They didn't clarify," Johnson-Cook said on what position Texas sees him playing. "But I'm pretty sure they offered me for running back. He showed me the wall of all the running backs that had went there like Ricky Williams and the guys like that so I'm pretty sure the offer is for running back."

"A good amount of my offers are for running back, and the rest of them are for athlete where they'll see when I get there."

"When I went up there for the spring game, it was cool. The fans were out there showing they have good culture and I got to see a close up of all the running backs last year. How their program is going, I feel like they're gonna end up winning a National Championship in a few years and I like that and the coaches. Coach Scott, he just got there like a month ago but I can tell he's a good coach already and I feel like he'll help them get to the natty."

"If I do choose to play running back at the next level, that kinda means a lot, that they know how to do it. Texas obviously hires good running back coaches if they've had the last two number one running backs in the NFL Draft. So I can tell that they know who is a good running back coach and they're obviously a good running back school too."

"Ohio State, Oregon, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Georgia, and LSU right now. Those are my favorites for right now."

From Burton at OTF...

"And, yes, Texas is expected to be after even more players in the spring portal if the right ones enter. I'll say it until I'm blue in the face, Texas is pushing all the chips to the middle of the table for 2025 coming off of consecutive national semifinal appearances."

And Watson will only be a Sophomore next year. January, Mills, Watson, Terry, Sharma, and Charles for next at a minimum if they can get Watson. Not too bad.

On CB offer Jalen Lott of Frisco Panther Creek...OTF mentioned he's scheduled to speak with Sark today, and it's expected that he'll be recruited as a WR first going forward.

It sounds like the staff doesn't want Oregon having an advantage simply because they're recruiting him at a different position.

And Watson will only be a Sophomore next year. January, Mills, Watson, Terry, Sharma, and Charles for next at a minimum if they can get Watson. Not too bad.

It'd be nice to have two Freshman All-Americans flanked by five-star newcomers Jackson and Terry.

Throw in the experienced DT transfers plus Burke, and it could be a salty group.

Hopefully Vasek can get healthy.

My own take on this is it speaks to how the staff feels about their chances with Bishop, Jr., King and Matthews at CB, and maybe even Howard, Jr. as well.

“My first visit went good and I got the offer. I am considering Texas for an official visit during the season. They will come down in the spring to see me, so I will decide later on if I am going back to Texas. I love the way they do things, it is a big name and I know their coaches can develop players.”

[TFloss32]

A few quotes from CB target Hayward Howard, Jr. of New Orleans, LA on his visit to Texas (IT):

“It was good, I liked it, and it was a surprise,” Howard Jr told Inside Texas. “They say everything really bigger in Texas. I guess everything really is bigger in Texas. The coaches, coach Orphey, coach Sark, they all stood out. Coach Sark was really chill. They were really cool. They made me feel at home.”

“I grew up with (Wardell) Mack,” said Howard. “He was in 12th grade when I was a freshman. I thought he was like Lebron. Him and Arch were like Lebron to us in New Orleans.”

“I’m ready to commit,” said Howard about the recruiting process. He’s looking at a late July announcement.

Rouse spoke with On3 about his visit to Austin last week:

“Texas made a big impression on me and they have worked their way up on my board,” Rouse told On3. “I got to see the facilities, watch practice and go through meetings with the staff and team. I also had time to see the city of Austin and tour the campus. It was definitely what I expected, maybe a little more.”

“I talked to almost everyone on the staff. Talking with coach Nansen and Coach CG was great. They had a lot of ball to teach while also focusing on the fundamentals of football and the defense. Josh Dunson was also great in touring us around all week and making sure we saw everything the campus has to offer."

“I can’t pick one thing that stood out, but the location of the campus is great. It’s not too crazy of a city while there is still stuff to do. The food was amazing. Just getting to know the coaching staff and build that relationship with them was huge too."

“I left very impressed with them.”

[TFloss32]

IT reporting Ryan Niblett, the "fastest player on the team," is returning to offense.

The staff wants to utilize him much like they did with Bolden last season at punt returner, jets, sweeps, etc.

IT mentioned the play of Graceson Littleton on defense as another reason for the move.

OTF added that he "may be the biggest surprise" of the defensive freshmen.

[TFloss32]

At the WR position, OTF reporting Daylan McCutcheon is "well ahead" of the other freshmen.

Awesome to hear this about Daylon, but I was hoping Aaron would take the next step with that speed

Also, in response to Graceson I'm assuming "surprise" means they weren't expecting him to be where he is now. Still think Kade Phillips will get a lot of playing time based on what I've been reading, but he is likely not a "surprise" because I think most expected him to be solid this spring

Nothing but positives on Littleton.

They said he's pushing Mack hard at the nickel spot.

Sounds like Black and Phillips will play quite a bit, but Black's progress has supposedly kept the staff from pursuing another DB in the portal.

I don't think the staff anticipated Kern making this move, but I'll follow up if I see info on it.

The scholarship count is down to 83, so we'll see if the staff takes advantage of that opening.

On CB offer Camren Hamiel of Goodyear, AZ...OTF said his visit "couldn't have gone any better."

He spent a lot of time with Michael Taaffe and some of the other DBs.
