Daily Bullets (Oct. 21): Starting Cowboy Defender Declares for NFL Draft, Mike Boynton on Making History

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

OSU Bullets

• Starting defensive tackle Brendon Evers announced he’ll be forgoing the rest of his (super) senior season to prepare for the NFL Draft

• Spencer Sanders, a shoulder injury, and making sense of Mike Gundy not talking about it

• Everything Mike Boynton had to say at Big 12 Media Days – especially this point about Oklahoma State being a footnote in history:

“I don’t want to see a bunch of other kids have to go through that either. And so while I’m disappointed that it looks like our program will be the last one to have to do that, I’m also happy for the future kids that won’t have to suffer that same fate because of things they really had nothing to do with. So, it sucks to kind of now be a footnote in history. It will be probably a trivia question: ‘Who’s the last team to suffer a postseason ban over a recruiting violation? The 2021-22 Oklahoma State men’s basketball team.’
