The dream of bringing a Big 12 title back to Texas has kept Anthony Cook around all these...
Anthony Cook of the Texas Longhorns walks off as fans rush onto the field after the TCU Horned Frogs defeated the Longhorns 37-27 at Amon G. Carter Stadium on October 26, 2019 in Fort Worth.AUSTIN — For a few weeks during the summer of 2020, Texas defensive back Anthony Cook thought about leaving the Forty Acres behind.
“My freshman year, yeah, we went to that Big 12 championship. But we didn’t win it,” Cook said last week, recalling Oklahoma’s 39-27 win over Texas at AT&T Stadium. “It’s been a minute . So that’s the main reason I came back. I want to win a Big 12 championship. I want to help be a part of the team that brought a championship back after so long.”He arrived as a four-star cornerback, one of the nation’s 10 best according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
“I’m liking it,” Cook said of the move to safety. “I’m getting the chance to learn more positions, so it does make me more valuable on the field. A little bit of everything, nickel, safety. I think I could help a lot more guys out on the back end I could see a lot more. Plus I played nickel, I played corner, so I know where guys should be at and that aspect of it.”
At this point, it’s too early to say whether Cook’s move will have a considerable impact. But so far coach Steve Sarkisian and safeties coach Blake Gideon have liked both what it looks and sounds like with Cook and junior Jerrin Thompson lining up at the safety spots.
