Fall Camp Update: Walk-On Receiver Landon Wolf Placed on Scholarship

One of the tidbits of news to come out of OSU’s fall media availability of fall camp was that former walk-on wide receiver Landon Wolf has been placed on scholarship.

Senior quarterback Taylor Cornelius stated that Wolf was just “put on” while talking about his journey from walk-on to scholarship player following Sunday’s practice. “It’s awesome for him,” Cornelius said. This was later confirmed by The Daily Oklahoman.

“He deserves it, by all means,” Cornelius continued. “That guy’s unbelievable. He’s so quick and twitchy. He’s going to be a big-time receiver this year.”

Wolf has already been the stuff of spring game legend — including a 52-yard touchdown connection with Cornelius — and has been a name mentioned as one to watch moving into 2018 by fellow players this summer.

Wolf and former OSU safety Chance Cook earned the Outstanding Walk-On Award for the 2017 season. Cook recently announced that he would be leaving the program after not being offered a scholarship for 2018.

Wolf, the redshirt sophomore from East Central High School in Tulsa who comes in at a stout 5-11, 174-pounds on OSU’s roster, appears primed for a decent-sized role in OSU’s retooling passing game.
