Anthony Cook ‘will not be playing another snap’ for Texas

CB Anthony Cook tweeted Thursday night he will not be playing for UT next season. The junior has asked everyone to “respect” his decision.

Defensive back Anthony Cook tweeted Thursday night he will not be playing for Texas next season. The junior has asked everyone to “respect” his decision.

Nobody is quite sure if Cook will be entering the transfer portal or if he is done playing football. A talented player, he was expected to be a key contributor to the Texas secondary in 2020.

Cook had been with the Longhorns since 2018. A four-star prospect out of high school, the cornerback played in 25 games, starting in seven of them.

Texas’ secondary has taken a major hit today, as BJ Foster broke his hand punching his car bumper. A unit that struggled last season, Caden Sterns, D’Shawn Jamison, and Jalen Green will now have a bigger role than they did yesterday.

Replacing Cook will not be easy, but Chris Adimora could see an increase in playing time. The sophomore played in all 13 games last season, having 10 tackles and one pass break up.

Texas president Greg Fenves to leave for Emory

Texas president Greg Fenves will be leaving UT for Emory at the end of June. Fenves has been the school’s president for the past five years.

First reported by Horns247, University of Texas president Greg Fenves will be leaving the 40 acres at the end of June. Fenves has been at UT for 12 years and has been the president of the university for the past five.

Fenves has also accepted a new position at Emory University in Atlanta, where he will be their president. He is expected to take his new job on August 1.

Until then, Fenves’ goal is “completing the semester and getting our community back to normal before my presidency ends.”

From an athletics standpoint, Fenves was the president who hired current athletic director Chris Del Conte. The former TCU AD has seen success throughout all Olympic sports and started to turn the football program around with Tom Herman.

Texas will be naming an interim president later this week. According to 247Sports, McCombs School of Business dean Jay Hartzell is the leading candidate to take over as president.
