Tre Sterling Undergoes Season-Ending Surgery

Mike Gundy announced two weeks ago that Tre Sterling’s season was over because of an injury, and that became officially official on Wednesday as the star safety revealed on social media that he had surgery that would indeed end his season.

Sterling announced the news in part to dispel unfounded rumors that he had opted out. His girlfriend shared that Tre had been “playing through” the injury.

“I want to thank everyone for the support and prayers,” he said on Twitter. “I wish I could be playing this season but God has other plans for me. I can honestly say I left everything on the field and I’m so glad to have people in my life that show me unconditional love.”

Sterling was arguably OSU’s best defensive back last season patrolling the back end of the defense at safety, and his announcement that he wanted to return in 2021 was a big boon for the defense.
