Myson Johnson-Cook, Texas football recruiting target, impresses at UIL state track meet​

Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian covets speed.

So it's wasn't surprising when the Longhorns offered a scholarship to DeSoto athlete Myson Johnson-Cook, the No. 4 prospect in the Class of 2027 according to 247Sports' composite rankings. His overwhelming athleticism was a key cog in the Eagles' path to the 6A UIL state track and field meet.

Johnson-Cook showed up Saturday on the UT campus as the final leg of the 4x100-meter relay, and his blazing speed led the Eagles to a second-place finish and a personal record of 40.15 seconds. He and his team also ran the 4x200-meter relay, finishing fourth with a time of 1 minute, 24.70 seconds.



"I'm very proud of the team. Before the season started nobody expected us to go to state or to run a 40-point low," Johnson-Cook said.

After the event, Johnson-Cook told the American-Statesman that he planned to meet Sunday morning with Longhorns running backs coach Chad Scott for a campus tour. For now, it's too early to tell if the athlete is leaning toward Texas. But the rising junior hopes he and the Longhorns' relationship reaches a point where he seriously considers committing.

On the gridiron, DeSoto uses Johnson-Cook mostly as a running back. He rushed for 911 yards and 14 touchdowns while averaging 10.4 yards per carry last season. And though he has state speed, he measures in at 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, a good bit bulkier than the average track star.

Texas' primary QB target for '27. The video isn't the best but it gives you an idea about his talent.

Gerry has been mentioning this recruitment might come down to football vs basketball. Texas unlikely to pursue a QB who is still considering college hoops.

I heard that UT was up front on that and the offer was contingent on his willingness to do FB only.

He got the offer so he must have agreed.

Yes, hearing Gerry now say he is going to be a football focused college athlete.

Kids from my hometown. I was shocked when I heard the figure tech offered him. Good for him though. Would have to be a large bag for someone to go to sand aggy
