Daily Bullets (Apr. 8): Pokes Add National Champ to the Roster

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

OSU Bullets

• David Taylor added the 2024 National Champion at 133 pounds (!) to his roster yesterday (PFB)

• ESPN has the Cowgirls at No. 22 in their way-too-early rankings of women’s college basketball (ESPN $$$)

• A running back in the transfer portal is on campus in Stillwater today and appears to be a strong Cowboy lean: 

Emory & Henry wide receiver transfer Cameron Abshire is expected in Stillwater Monday and Georgia State running back transfer Freddie Brock will be at practice Tuesday afternoon…The New York native entered the transfer portal as a graduate transfer on Feb. 28 after rushing for 819 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024 for the Panthers. The 5-foot-10 back began his career at FCS Maine before transferring to Georgia State in May 2023.

Two crystal ball predictions have been placed in favor of Brock landing with the Cowboys.
