Texas Lands Westlake Lineman Jackson Cook as Seventh Commit in 2027 Class
The pledge reinforces a local pipeline that helps Texas restock its offensive line with versatile in-state talent.
Overview
- Three-star offensive lineman Jackson Cook committed to Texas, giving the Longhorns their seventh pledge in the 2027 recruiting class.
- Cook chose Texas after offers from Texas A&M, South Carolina, Arkansas, Duke, Texas Tech and SMU, following a Longhorns offer earlier in March.
- Listed around 6-foot-3 to 6-foot-4 and 290 pounds, he plays tackle for Westlake but has experience across the line, including guard and center.
- Cook transferred from Lago Vista to Austin power Westlake before his junior season, continuing a Texas pipeline that has produced Michael Taaffe, Ethan Burke and Connor Robertson.
- Family ties to the program through stepfather Matt Trissell and a development pitch from offensive line coach Kyle Flood factored into his choice, adding to a class headlined by five-star receiver Easton Royal.
