Tight End Recruit No Longer Part of Oklahoma State 2017 Recruiting Class

Reports surfaced from Scout.com last night that three-star tight end prospect Spencer Misko of Keller, Texas, is longer a part of OSU’s 2017 recruiting class.

Misko is a hybrid tight end/defensive end prospect who held offers from Illinois State, K-State, Prairie View A&M, and Texas A&M Commerce. Misko’s situation with OSU shows the somewhat unfortunate, and dark side of what can come in the recruiting world. He was informed this week that his scholarship, which he earned four months ago at a camp, was no longer available to him, which is forcing him to re-open his recruitment.

Tough lesson but I'm excited to re-open my recruiting process https://t.co/ItfJJPIGTb

A lot of times schools will do this in the recruiting process, and recruits will opt to announce a “decommitment”, although the true story sometimes never comes out.

During his visit to campus for camp earlier this summer, he told PFB that it was an easy decision for him and that OSU “just felt right.”

“I met with the coaches and Mike Gundy at the mini camp and they offered me on the spot [on Sunday],” he told PFB. “I knew what I wanted so I committed right then and there, and I’m not regretting my decision at all.”

Misko was recruited by OSU as a tight end/cowboy back. Oklahoma State, at least at this time, does not have another prospect to fill that position for the 2017 class, but Gundy has said he would like to take one per class.
