Daily Bullets (Apr. 6): Pulling for Mike Boynton Tonight, Recapping the QB Commit

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news. 

OSU Bullets

• Congrats to Mike Boynton (great interview with him here) – his Michigan Wolverine squad takes on UConn for a national title tonight (IO)

• Scores from the weekend – baseball climbed back to .500 in conference play, completing a sweep of Cincinnati, while the men’s golfers finished second at the Haskins Award Invitational (OKState.com)

• ICYMI – the Pokes landed their first commitment for the 2027 football recruiting class, and it’s a dual-threat quarterback from Texas. This comment on throwing on the move feels like a staple of Eric Morris quarterbacks:

“A proverbial box checker as a three-sport standout (baseball, track and field) with significant passing volume, (Carson) White got better and better as the day progressed. He threw effectively early in the more pocket-oriented drills, but shined in any station that asked for throwing on the move. White held his own in January during Navy All-American Bowl practices, but Sunday’s camp provided a more concentrated look at his passing prowess, and we came away impressed.  [GoPokes 247 $$$]

Tulsa carved 2,847 rumble strips into a bridge on Route 66.

Drive eastbound at exactly 35 mph and your tires play “This Land Is Your Land.” Mechanical. No speakers. Cost: $90,000 for 19 seconds of music. About $4,700 per second. Guthrie was born about 75 miles away in… pic.twitter.com/xYjY2G891N — Jake (@JakeCan72) April 4, 2026
