On the season, Cook had eight catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns. The 6-foot, 185 lbs. sophomore was a member of the 2023 recruiting class. Not only was Cook a five-star, but he was also the No. 3 ranked wide receiver in the entire 2023 class according to the 247Sports Composite.
Cook will redshirt the remainder of the year and enter the transfer portal.
