The running back room is headlined by Caleb Hawkins, and let's make NO mistake about that. Hawkins led the nation in rushing touchdowns, total touchdowns, and scoring last season while finishing fifth nationally in rushing yards. Now he's bigger, faster, and stronger heading into his sophomore year. And, usually the biggest jump for a player is between years 1 and 2, so that all adds up to WATCH OUT!

But this room is DYNAMIC, and the talent goes well beyond just Hawkins. Tre Page III has game-breaking speed. Ayo Adeyi and Dennis Moody bring the kind of burst that will remind OSU fans of Kendall Hunter. William Mason is a complete back who can do a little bit of everything, and freshman KD Jones is lightning in a young body.

Javen Hall is another intriguing player to watch. The true freshman walk-on is the youngest player on the roster, and the RB room is loaded, so who knows what his role will be this season. But at 6'0", he already has good size and impressive quickness, making him someone to watch as he develops.

And they're coached by Coach Cobbs. That's enough said.

This running back room is another example of what this staff has built. They've added talent, but they've also assembled different skill sets at basically every position, giving each unit the versatility to attack in a variety of ways. #GoPokes #OkState

Cowboy Conversations | Adarius Bowman | WR | 2005-07
There are great performances, and then there are performances that become part of Oklahoma State football history.

Adarius Bowman's afternoon in Lawrence on Oct. 14, 2006, belongs in the second category.

The junior receiver finished with 13 catches for 300 yards and four touchdowns, setting what was then a Big 12 single-game receiving record. His touchdown receptions came from 54, 25, 55, and 64 yards out, helping Oklahoma State erase a 17-point deficit and leave Kansas with a 42-32 victory.

The numbers alone are remarkable.

The story behind them is even better.

At halftime, the Cowboys trailed 14-0 and looked fairly dead in the water. That only got worse when Kansas extended the lead to 17-0 early in the third quarter, and Oklahoma State desperately needed a spark.

Bowman remembers having a quiet first half before legendary strength coach Rob Glass delivered a familiar message in the locker room.

"Come on, Hoss."

From that point on, Bowman said everything slowed down. He remembers hearing little besides his own breathing while quarterback Bobby Reid continued looking his direction. For two quarters, it seemed like every throw found No. 2.

Oklahoma State scored 42 points over the final 23:19, and Bowman authored one of the greatest individual performances in school history.

Looking back, Bowman says he didn't even realize what he had accomplished.

He was focused on winning.

It wasn't until after the game, when teammates and others began talking about his stat line, that he learned he had reached 300 receiving yards. In his mind, he had almost erased the first half because of how frustrating it had been.

Bowman's career at Oklahoma State came during an important transition for the program.

After transferring from North Carolina, he joined Mike Gundy's program in its early stages and quickly became one of the offense's biggest playmakers. Under offensive coordinator Larry Fedora, Bowman and quarterback Bobby Reid helped establish the explosive passing attack that would become a trademark of Oklahoma State football.

That same season ended with another milestone, as the Cowboys defeated Alabama in the Independence Bowl to give Gundy his first bowl victory as Oklahoma State's head coach.

When conversations turn to the greatest receivers in school history, names like Hart Lee Dykes, Rashaun Woods, Dez Bryant, and Justin Blackmon are usually mentioned first.

Bowman's name deserves to be somewhere amidst that discussion.

He helped establish a standard that followed, and produced one of the most unforgettable performances Oklahoma State fans have ever witnessed.

Nearly 20 years later, he still proudly represents Oklahoma State, and his appreciation for Stillwater remains as strong as ever.

Some moments define careers.

Others help define a program.

Adarius Bowman's day in Lawrence did both.

Iman Oates was a HUGE addition to this roster since he became eligible via his temporary restraining order. Oates brings size, strength, and GREAT experience to a defensive front that can use ALL of that.

As I always say about him...Let the BIGDAWG EAT!

He's a playmaker, not just a roadblock! Coach Cassity will be able to use him in a bunch of different ways to create the "controlled chaos" that his defenses thrive on. 

So, as per his eligibility, it's temporary! There is a still court case that will determine whether or not he becomes permanently eligible, but he's eligible until then. Which is BIG, because the NCAA and court systems take forever to get their business done, and the longer they take, the better for us. 

Iman played 2 years at NEO, then redshirted in 2023 at OSU, then played 2 years. Under the old rules, players had 5 years to complete 4 years of eligibility. The new rules give players up to five years of eligibility instead of four, and their clock starts as soon as they get on campus. 

Also, now, thanks to Diego Pavia, JUCO years don't count towards players' clocks or their years of eligibility. So, if you remove the 2 years at NEO, he only has 3 years counted towards his eligibility. That means that, if he wins his court case, he could have 2 years given back to him, which would be HUGE. More on that later. 

The NCAA determined all 2022 graduates as part of the new rules, but Iman graduated from Edison in 2021, so he doesn't qualify for that exemption. But, even if the 5 for 5 can't be retractively applied in his case, which it likely won't, his JUCO years should be given back to him, like they were Colin Brueggemann. In that scenario, that would give him the 1 year. If it is applied, he'd be eligible for 2. #GoPokes #OkState

OSU Football Practice Breakdown | Every Position Analyzed W/video from Practice
The Tight End position group is also very versatile. Donovan Green is in GREAT shape, and we know Oscar Hammond can flat catch a ball. And, the matchup problems they're gonna create are a play caller's dream. 

Especially considering the speed & weapons the Cowboys will have at the receiver spot. There are several other receivers we'll cover as we go on, so not to slight them in this post, but the guys mentioned are the leaders in the clubhouse, if you will.

But, beyond ALL of that, one of the MOST impressive parts of this group is the diversity in skill set, then the layers of talent from the guys that aren't catching the headlines. 

Carson Kolb was just given a scholarship, and he has a VERY impressive frame at 6'4/235, and he can run, catch, and is very coordinated in the pass game. 

Morgan McPhaul is a bowling ball that will be able to attach in conventional tight-end sets and act as a road grader. But, as you'll see in the video, he's VERY capable of slipping out and catching a pass too. 

I didn't get to see Luke Logan, so I'll reserve comments on him until I do. But Bodie Boydstun is another 6'5 target that has QB experience, so he's a great athlete, especially when taking his size into consideration. 

This is a deep group, and it's versatile, and it will be interesting to see how it gets used. Make no mistake, they'll allow OSU to go "BIG" if needed, but also be able to flex out into a slot as well. This is a position battle that, as a fan, has a LOT of intrigue. Because it goes beyond "who" and gets into "how". Meaning, who will get the reps, and how will they be used? #GoPokes #OkState
The Most Underrated Position Battle at Oklahoma State? Tight End.
Malik Charles got BIG words from Coach Morris! 

Dude's a FREAK! 

The way he can move while hovering around the 300-pound mark isn't something you expect humans to be able to do. And, between him and all of the other D-Lineman who are so versatile, the possibilities to create"controlled chaos" are limitless.

Almost all of these guys can both rush the QB and anchor the run game from an interior perspective. And, the "CHAOS," I think we're gonna see from them in terms of movement, is going to put them in a position to do both. And, it will be "CONTROLLED" because, again, it will be gap-based, which is a great combination between being sound and explosive. 

This has a chance to be one of the most fun position groups to watch all season.

LFG! #GoPokes #OkState
Malik Charles is a FREAK and Controlled Chaos is COMIN'!
