Football News

So OSU is sort of deep at offensive line. That might not mean much, but Kyle B. does a great job breaking it down here. [PFB]

Pretty cool story here. Josh Cooper is the offensive coordinator at Deer Creek. [NewsOK]

Robert Allen says Justice Hill has been pretty impressive so far. [Go Pokes]

It looks like Keondre Wudtee is going to redshirt. [PFB]

Why Berry Tramel is going over OSU winning 8.5 games: “I’m going over. The Cowboys could be just OK and go 9-3. Sweep the non-conference, which really means only having to beat Pitt, and OSU would need to go 6-3 in the conference to reach nine wins. The other three teams ranked in the top four of the Big 12 are road games for the Cowboys, but that means the likes of Texas, West Virginia and Texas Tech come to Stillwater.” [NewsOK]

The breakout Oklahoma State defensive player everyone keeps talking about. [PFB]

Mason Rudolph is a top 10 NFL Draft prospect for 2017. [PFB]

Travis Haney’s No. 37-ranked breakout player for 2016: Jalen McCleskey. Here’s what he writes: “The jitterbug slot receiver is more equipped as a sophomore because of the 20-plus pounds he has added to his 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame. (He has come a long way: A newspaper feature noted McCleskey weighed less than 100 pounds in high school!) An injury to veteran Marcell Ateman, which will sideline him during the first part of the season, makes McCleskey only more valuable to quarterback Mason Rudolph and the Cowboys’ offense.” [ESPN — $]

On OSU, the SEC and what about that Pac-12? [PFB]

Here is some STUNNING news out of Austin: The first week of camp in Austin is done, and it was a bit of a mixed bag. After saying at Big 12 Football Media Days he wanted to name a starting quarterback early in camp, Charlie Strong said after Saturday’s scrimmage there is no timetable to name a starter between senior Tyrone Swoopes and freshman Shane Buechele.

An update on preseason polls. [PFB]

Here are ESPN’s power rankings which, unlike the ranking I posted in my roundup, are determined by a group of people combined with FPI. The season needs to get here quickly. [ESPN]
