OSU Bullets

• Cowboy Wrestling rolled/upset a top-five opponent yesterday, beating No. 3 Iowa State 24-9 (PFB)

• QB1 got to meet the OSU fanbase in a pretty picturesque way yesterday (PFB)

• Fun profile on GoPokes 247 of Cowboy running back Caleb Hawkins – fascinating how he flew under the radar with that talent (GoPokes 247)

• Let’s keep running with this OSU-Indiana comparison, shall we? As long as journalists are writing about it, I’ll keep highlighting it for you.

(Curt) Cignetti got a huge boost in year one by bringing a handful of his best players from James Madison to Bloomington. That helped propel Indiana into playoff contention right away.

New Cowboys coach Eric Morris has done the same thing with North Texas, and then some. The group is headlined by QB Drew Mestemaker, RB Caleb Hawkins, and WR Wyatt Young, all of whom were top-five portal players at their positions.

The combination of that influx of talent and the continuity of playing within essentially the same system gives Oklahoma State a real chance to hit the ground running. [Open for Business]

• ICYMI – the Pokes snapped a 15-game road losing streak in Salt Lake City on Saturday, five thoughts are here (PFB)

• Could OSU really have three McDonald’s All-Americans come in 2026? OSU could, three were nominated.

Make it a combo 🍔🍟🥤 Congratulations to future Cowboys @_rxprell, @JalenMontonati and Parker Robinson on being nominated for the 2026 McDonald’s All-American game. pic.twitter.com/3gYrVgUmK5
