With 87 new players, I think being in the “Wait and See” camp with Oklahoma State right now is completely fair. And, honestly, it's probably the most logical place to be, so that's a big part of what we get into in today's Practice Report. 🏈 Johnny Dickson III & Shaun Torgeson: Two offensive linemen we definitely haven't talked about enough on OState Daily, so we spend some time on both of them. 🏈 The biggest question marks: Which position groups have the most question marks, and which ones should you have confidence in even though you haven't seen them play for OSU, or maybe even at the P4 level yet? 🏈 Drew Mestemaker: This is a big one. The guy put up huge numbers at North Texas, but at what level will that translate to the Big 12? Why should we believe he's THAT guy for Oklahoma State, and is he getting so much "hype" that OSU fans will panic as soon as he makes one mistake? 🏈 Caleb Hawkins, Wyatt Young & the linebackers: We know how good they have been, but how good will they be at THIS level? We think these are all honest and fair questions, and we dive into them. There's a lot of practice footage in this one, along with clips from Media Availability with the coordinators, so you can actually see some of what we're talking about. To be totally transparent, there are some things that, even with almost no evidence at this level, I'm totally sold on, and some that I think fans should be in "wait and see" mode on. And with 87 new players, I don't think that's negative, nor do I think it's positive. I think that's exactly where we should be right now. That's what today's Practice Report is about.

The Oklahoma State offense has a LOT of different pieces right now, and it sounds like there are still some things the staff is trying to figure out as fall camp continues. At receiver, there's a pretty wide range of skill sets. J-Bo brings size and physicality, Wyatt can do a little bit of everything, and Miles and Chris give them some shiftiness. Davon Stander and Cam have also started to make some noise during camp. One thing that stood out from the conversation was the emphasis on blocking from the receivers. The staff has seen some big runs and explosive plays come from receivers getting involved on the perimeter and digging out safeties. Tight end is another position that's still being sorted out. Oscar Hammond gives them some experience as a pass catcher, Morgan is a new addition from VMI, and Donnie is a veteran who has been a red-zone target. Carson Polks and Bodie Boydstun are also in the mix. And then there's the offensive line. Jacob Sexton has apparently had a really good fall camp, Tyler Mercer is handling center, and John Dixon brings some veteran experience. Ashton Lepo is working his way back from shoulder surgery, while Torgerson and Hansen have also flashed during camp. So there's still some figuring out to do with the offensive personnel. That's probably not a bad thing at this point in August. The Cowboys are getting a better idea every day of what they have, where guys fit best, and which combinations work. 🎥 **Full Offensive Coordinator Interview** #OKState #GoPokes #OStateDaily
Lots of Diversity, Skill & Talent on Offense!
Chris Massey was not just a GREAT football player, but he was also very smart and had a tremendous personality. He was a 4.0 student in high school, and that, combined with his personality and talent, made him the total package. He was the Gatorade Player of the Year in the '98-'99 school year and basically had his pick from ANY school in America. Arkansas is just about 45 minutes from Spiro, and OU was knocking down his door, so OSU had a LOT of competition. But the hometown/small-town feel of Stillwater and the OSU campus drew him in, and the rest is history. Massey went on to have a GREAT career at OSU from 1999-2002 as a tremendous kick returner and safety who also played some corner and even quarterback. He came in as a quarterback and had plans on playing both sides of the ball, like Rashaan Woods had done just a couple of years before he got to OSU. But eventually he chose defense because he felt like that was his best path to the NFL. Despite choosing defense, he always felt the most comfortable with the ball in his hands, and his kick return stats back that up. On 38 kickoff returns, he piled up 1,067 yards, including a 97-yarder to the house against Texas in 2001. That season, he led the nation in kickoff return average at 34.8 yards and set an OSU single-game record with 208 kickoff-return yards against Texas Tech. #GoPokes #OkState
Chris Massey: The Gatorade Player of the Year Who Chose Oklahoma State
Super cool that, when given the chance at the end of our interview to thank whoever he wanted, Chris Massey, one of the OSU greats, took a minute to recognize and honor some folks who changed his life at OSU. Marilyn Middlebrook, better known as "Mama Middlebrook", has kept countless students at OSU on track and/or gotten them on track to begin with. And, as Chris tells you, it didn't matter when, what time of day, or what the situation was, because if one of her students needed help, guidance, or direction, it's a "Stop, Drop, and Roll" for her. I know, she did it for me, too - and I wasn't even an athlete at OSU! She started at OSU in 1983 and eventually became Associate Athletic Director for Academic Affairs. But the ONLY title that tells her story is that- she's "Mama Middlebrook", and for those that know her, that title says it ALL! Terry Henley also took care of OSU athletes, or anyone who needed his help, for that matter. As a former Cowboy himself, Henley came back in 2001 to work as an academic counselor for the football team. He wasn't just helping guys stay eligible or manage their class schedules — he was there to help them through college and everything that came with it. For guys like Chris Massey, Terry was one of those people you knew you could count on and was instrumental in helping him get through College successfully. Agatha Adams also played a big role in the development of Massey and countless others. Adams came to OSU in 1985 with a tremendous amount of experience working with student-athletes, and she put that experience to great use helping countless folks at OSU. Folks like Massey know she was there for them if/when she was needed. And TBH, it was more of a "when" than an "if". Thanks to all these folks, there's no telling how many lives were changed and careers saved by the care each one of the three put into the students and athletes at OSU. This wasn't a job for them. It was a duty and a mandate to do the best for each student or athlete they worked with. #GoPokes #OkState 🎥Full Interview https://youtu.be/isQKLeef7SE

🔥 NEW INTERVIEW: CHRIS MASSEY 🔥This one was a LOT of fun. I sat down with former Oklahoma State standout Chris Massey, and we got into some great stories from his time in Stillwater. Massey was a Parade All-American coming out of high school and went on to become one of the most explosive return men in the country. ⚡ He led the nation in kickoff return average in 2001. 💥 He had 208 kickoff return yards against Texas Tech. 🚨 He took a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown against Texas. And that's just part of the story. We talked about how he ended up at Oklahoma State, playing for the Cowboys, some of the biggest moments of his career, and what it was really like playing in that era of Oklahoma State football. Chris had some great stories. I think you'll really enjoy this one.🎙️ Chris Massey Interview — OState Daily🟠⚫ Go Pokes!
Chris Massey: From Oklahoma State Football to Life Beyond the Game
Drew Mestemaker is the unquestioned #1 quarterback, but I'm sure a LOT of Oklahoma State fans are interested in what the depth chart looks like behind him. Grant Jordan is a transfer from UMass who brings multiple seasons of college football experience with him. He's played at the FBS level, and he's the most experienced guy in the room behind Mestemaker. Brody Vehrs and Luke Tepas, on the other hand, are true freshmen who are just getting started. They're just getting started with the college game, and obviously there's going to be a learning curve there. Coach Brophy, the OC and quarterbacks coach, takes you through each of the QBs beyond Mestemaker, talks about their skill sets, and gives you some insight into their personalities. #GoPokes #OKState 🎥 Full Brophy Interview https://youtu.be/rSnihFsnYoo
Coach Brophy Talks Backup QB
🔥 Bodie Boydstun is one of those stories that is really easy to root for. Boydstun grew up in Enid and played quarterback at Oklahoma Bible Academy, which played eight-man football. And while it's not unheard of for Oklahoma 8-man players to go on to bigger things — OSU fans can point to guys like Stacey Satterwhite, Brady Bond and Dan Bailey — it's certainly not the normal path. But Boydstun's story is pretty interesting. As a senior at OBA, he threw for 2,099 yards and 27 touchdowns while rushing for 882 yards and 27 more touchdowns. That's 2,981 total yards and 54 touchdowns. Pretty ridiculous. He then went to Southwestern Oklahoma State as a quarterback before eventually making the move to tight end. In 2025, he earned Second Team All-Great American Conference honors after catching 14 passes for 191 yards and three touchdowns. Now he's at Oklahoma State. And honestly, I think his background makes him really intriguing. He's played quarterback, he's played multiple positions, and he's had to learn the game from different perspectives. And when you're playing tight end, having actually played quarterback gives you a pretty good idea of what the guy throwing you the ball is seeing. And he's big. He's tough. And he's not going to be outworked. But don't take my word for it. Listen to Drew Svoboda, who described Boydstun as physical, tough, high character, a hard worker, and a “yes sir” guy. I really like that and the fact that nothing has been handed to him. From eight-man football in Enid, to quarterback at SWOSU, to an All-Conference tight end, and now to Oklahoma State. That's been the journey, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what Bodie Boydstun does with this opportunity. #OKState #GoPokes #OStateDaily ⬇️Full Svoboda Interview https://youtu.be/vyR2mC0vaPs
Bodie's Rise...The Improbable Journey!
🔥 “We’re trying to win a championship around here.” That line at the end really stood out to me. Because let's be honest, when you hear that Oklahoma State has 87 new players, your first thought is probably going to be, How in the world do you get all of those guys on the same page? But listening to this, that doesn't really seem to be the biggest issue. These guys believe in what Oklahoma State is doing. They believe in the coaches. They believe in each other. And maybe most importantly, there’s a LOT of experience in this group. These aren't all young guys trying to figure out college football for the first time. A lot of them have played four or five years. They've been through it. They've played at a high level, and they've made all the mistakes and learned from them. They've already been through that process, so now it's about getting everybody to play fast and understand that they don't have to do everything themselves. Just do your 1/11. Play for the guy next to you. Hold each other accountable. And when somebody makes a big play, celebrate it together. That stuff matters. And I really like the confidence behind this. It's exactly what I was talking about earlier when I promoted his Media Availability interview. It's a genuine belief that, when everyone buys in, the expectation is to win a Championship. LFG! #OKState #GoPokes #OStateDaily
