Oklahoma State Football Practice Report | Confidence, Size & The Trenches

What did we learn from another day of Oklahoma State football practice?

In this edition of the OState Daily Practice Report, we take a deeper look at what we're seeing from the Cowboys as Eric Morris continues to build this program.

A major theme is confidence. Coach Morris has made it clear that he wants his players to believe in themselves, and that confidence is becoming a noticeable part of the identity of this team.

We also take a close look at the offensive and defensive lines, where Oklahoma State is showing that this roster is not the small team some may expect it to be.

And we dive into the secondary, including the athleticism, size and versatility Oklahoma State has added to that position group.

In this Practice Report:
🟠 How Eric Morris is building confidence throughout the roster
💪 Why this Oklahoma State team isn't as small as some people think
🏈 What we're seeing from the offensive line
⚔️ The defensive line and the physicality up front
🛡️ A closer look at the new-look secondary
👀 Players who are starting to stand out at practice
🎙️ What we learned from Media Day and our conversations with the players and Coach Morris
🔎 What I'm watching for as camp continues

This is a different Oklahoma State football team, and we're getting our first real opportunity to see what Eric Morris and his staff are building.

Oklahoma State Isn’t Small — Eric Morris Is Building Confidence & Physicality
The O-Line is probably the position where OSU fans have the most questions right now. If for no other reason, that's probably the unit they know the least about.

Who is going to start? What is this unit going to look like? And can all these “misfits,” as Coach Morris calls his roster, come together and become a cohesive group?

There are a LOT of questions.

But I think we're going to start getting some answers pretty quickly.

Coach Morris said he'd like to have his first unit established by the end of the first scrimmage, which is Saturday.

Jacob Sexton and Ashton Lepo are two absolutely massive human beings who could be in the mix at tackle. I don't have any inside information on that, so don't take that as me saying they're the starters.

Lepo is a 6'7", 320-pound transfer from Michigan State.

Sexton is 6'6", 328, and transferred in from OU. He's also from Deer Creek, so he's pretty much right at home in Stillwater.

Tyler Mercer is another really interesting piece. He transferred in from Kansas after playing for Coach Morris at North Texas, and Coach has really praised him for his ability to get the calls made and get the O-Line organized.

And that's a BIG deal at center.

The center has to process things quickly, communicate, and make sure everybody is on the same page because they are the ones who make the calls for the O-Line.

Jakobe Sanders has been getting reps there, too, and we already know from last year that he can move over and play guard and do it VERY well.

Then there's Joseph Hansen.

This might be one of the more intriguing guys on the entire O-Line.

Hansen transferred in from Coastal Carolina, and this dude just DOES NOT give up sacks.

He's also put on about 15 pounds since getting to OSU and is now over 300 pounds.

But the thing that really stood out to me?

He's SMART.

I got the chance to talk with Hansen, and it didn't take very long to realize that he understands the WHY behind what he's doing, not just what his assignment is. And, he's put on about 15 pounds of muscle and is over 300 pounds. That's because he's moved down to guard from his tackle position, where he played at Coastal.

There's still a LOT to figure out with this offensive line, and a lot of names that are in the mix that we didn't cover in this post. And that does NOT mean, in any way, that if a player is NOT in this post, they won't end up starting, or at least having a big role.

But we're going to start finding out some of those answers, and hopefully know who the first unit is by the end of the 1st scrimmage on Saturday.

Coach Morris takes you in-depth on several of the guys competing for those spots.

#GoPokes #OkState
Coach Morris Talks O-Line!
Coach Morris and his guys call themselves the “misfits.”

And I actually LOVE that.

Because when you put together a roster with this many different guys, you're going to have different backgrounds, different experiences, different expectations and, most importantly, different things each guy needs to succeed.

That's what makes this roster so interesting.

You'd probably assume the P4 transfers are automatically at the top of the pecking order.

But that's not necessarily the case.

A lot of those guys are at Oklahoma State because, for whatever reason—injury, opportunity, fit, whatever—they haven't quite had the success they were capable of having at their previous stop.

And let's be honest.

The P4 guys who HAVE already proven they can be stars at the highest level are usually the guys commanding the biggest price tags.

OSU might be able to go get a couple of those guys at strategic positions.

But very few programs can afford to build an entire roster that way.

Then you have the G6 transfers.

These guys still have to prove they can do it at this level.

But a lot of them were UNDERRATED coming out of high school, have vastly outperformed their recruitment and are coming into Oklahoma State with something the other guys might not have:

MOMENTUM.

And that's where I think Coach Morris's comments today were so important.

The goal isn't to treat every player the same.

The goal is to find the best version of EVERY player.

For a G6 transfer, that might mean patience.

It might mean getting enough reps that the game starts to slow down at this level.

For a P4 transfer trying to reinvent himself, it might be completely different.

It might mean spending time on the mental side of the game.

It might mean getting that player to BELIEVE IN HIMSELF AGAIN.

And if you weren't sold on Coach Morris's “GET IT” factor before today, I don't know how you could hear these comments and still have any doubt.

HE GETS IT.

He understands how a roster at Oklahoma State has to be built.

But more importantly, he understands that EVERY PLAYER IS DIFFERENT.

What one guy needs might be completely different from what the next guy needs.

And Coach Morris seems willing to figure that out.

To me, these are some of the MOST important comments he's made since arriving at Oklahoma State.

Not because of what he said about the roster.

Because of what it tells me about HOW HE PLANS TO COACH IT.

If you can figure out what each individual player needs to reach his potential, you're going to have some guys who finally become the players they always had the talent to be.

And that's how you find those guys who maybe just needed the right place, the right coaching and somebody to believe in them.

Long-winded?

Absolutely.

But those comments deserved every word.

🚨 NEW | Jacob Sexton Media Day Interview

Oklahoma State offensive lineman Jacob Sexton joined us at Media Day to talk about the Cowboys, his development, the offensive line and what he's expecting from the 2026 season.

Sexton brings experience and plenty of size to an OSU offensive line that will be one of the most important position groups to watch this fall.

Kollin Lewis Media Day Interview

Kollin Lewis built a lot of momentum towards the end of last year, and he's carrying that into a very competitive cornerback competition in Fall Camp.

Lewis talks about that competition, his time at North Texas, the transition to Stillwater, and, of course, all the folks back at Gladewater that helped him make all this happen.

Maurion Horn Media Day Interview
🏈 Wyatt Young is a headliner in a VERY talented Oklahoma State receiving room.

We know about his speed and the numbers he put up last season, but some things about Young may be going underrated — and point toward even more growth.

Young was a quarterback in high school and has only played receiver for three years.

That means he's still learning the position — but he's learning it through a quarterback's eyes.

He understands the rotations and purpose behind the coverages he's running routes against, which allows him to recognize where the openings are and find the soft spots in zone coverage.

That could be a huge advantage as he continues to develop at receiver.

And between Young and Miles Coleman, who received high praise from Coach Morris, Oklahoma State has an exciting duo developing in the slot.

🎥 Coach Morris explains during today's Media Day Press Conference.
