Offensive tackle Victor Salako has committed to Oklahoma State after making a visit this past week. Salako is a former UAB Blazer football player from Huntsville, Alabama. Salako is a 6-foot-6, 315 offensive lineman.

The UAB Blazers ran a version of the hurry-up, no huddle offense. UAB ranked No. 43 in total offense, and No. 33 in the nation in rushing offense this season.

The Blazers averaged 212.1 yards rushing per game, whereas the Cowboys main struggles upfront lead to an abysmal 135.3 yards rushing per game, ranking No. 103 in the nation.

Salako played every game as a redshirt freshman and started in all but one contest. He was also a member of the Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

Salako becomes the 16^th member to join the 2015 recruiting class, and the fifth offensive lineman. Salako will likely make an instant impact for the Pokes who have struggled with depth on the offensive line and could push for a starting position next season.
