OSU Bullets

•  So much portal news, but here’s where everything starts – OSU landed the North Texas’ (offensive) triplets.

Eric Morris has pulled off landing all three of his offensive stars at North Texas this season, with sophomore wide receiver Wyatt Young signing with Oklahoma State on Sunday evening. He joins freshmen Drew Mestemaker (QB) and Caleb Hawkins (RB) in Stillwater for the 2026 season. That trio was as productive as any QB/RB/WR in college football last season and when you consider they’re all underclassmen, it’s not close. [OState Illustrated $$$]

• Thought this was interesting – a prediction in for Hauss Hejny to land at Colorado State. Isn’t it relieving to not think about having to watch OSU play him in the Big 12? (X) • As mentioned above, so many updates. Here’s a link dump where you can find a summary: – Pokes land Caleb Hawkins, one of the top portal running backs (PFB) – The last triplet to announce – receiver Wyatt Young is headed to Stillwater (PFB) – Two UNT offensive linemen (plus a third) committed to the Cowboys (PFB) – A pair of other UNT receivers (Terrence Lewis and Miles Coleman) committed to the Pokes (PFB) – Defensive back Quinton Hammonds committed to the Cowboys (PFB) – A few Big 12 players the Pokes offered are listed here (PFB) • The Atlanta Falcons fired their head coach, most likely meaning Zac Robinson’s role as offensive coordinator is done (CBS Sports) ICYMI – Five Thoughts from OSU’s loss in the opener to Texas Tech (PFB) • What a fun outcome – OSU walk-on turned D3 stud (that unfortunately lost the D3 championship game yesterday):

North Central QB Garret Wilson was a walk-on at Oklahoma State, realized he didn’t like the FBS experience, googled “best D3 programs in the country”, found NCC, and reached out to the coaching staff. He’s now starting in the Stagg Bowl. pic.twitter.com/YJhAmLYMzJ
