When asked what he was like as a kicker in High School, Drew Mestemaker said
 "I mean, I just kind of went out there and kicked it, I guess. I didn't really analyze it." 

That's absolutely AWESOME!

Mestemaker, as we know, is known for his ability to process information at an elite level. And analyzing the offensive concepts to the point of mastery. So, to see this side of him was really fun. 

He also went on to talk about how cool it is that he gets to live and hang around his good buddies on this team, and how that process away from football helps this team on the field. 

Today was a fun chance to get to talk with Drew, with it being a little less about football being on a Tuesday Media Availability. And every layer you peel back is equally as impressive as the one just peeled. 

Perfect mix of complete dedication, but not taking things so seriously that you forget to enjoy the ride. 

Enjoy this young man while we have him, because he's a generational type of player.

Coach Morris spoke about what this week is like for him, having so many good friends on the other side. He either coached with, played with, or is best friends with a bunch of the Tech staff, so there is bound to be some of the brotherly effect. Meaning, ya' love the guys, but you don't ever want to let them beat you.

Bottom line is, as Coach says in the video, it's two good clubs, it's gonna be under the lights, a big-time setup, and ALL of THAT is what will win the day once the ball is kicked off.

THE WRESTLING ROUNDUP | Lee Cothran Joins OState Daily

Oklahoma State Wrestling is BACK! On the first edition of The Wrestling Roundup for the 2026-27 season, Lee Cothran of Dynasty Defined joins to break down the Cowboys' opening performance and look ahead to what could be a special season in Stillwater.

We discuss the D-Lockett situation, the depth of the Oklahoma State lineup, and several individual performances from the opening dual against Drexel.

We also take a closer look at Jax Forrest, Jayden Raney, Rocklin Zinkin, Sergio Vega, Casey Swiderski, and Alex Facundo, while discussing what it will take for Oklahoma State to challenge Penn State for a national championship.

Can the Cowboys put 10 All-Americans on the mat? Could this be the year Oklahoma State catches Penn State?

A great conversation about Oklahoma State Wrestling and the road ahead!

**THE WRESTLING ROUNDUP w/LEE COTHRAN | Can OSU Catch PENN STATE? 10 All-Americans?!**
OSU's offense is rolling, the defense had a GREAT bounce back, and there's plenty to break down after the Cowboys' win over K-State!

Nathan Gilsleider joins The Roundup to take a deep dive into what is making this OSU offense so difficult to stop, Caleb Hawkins' emergence as one of the most productive backs in the country, and how the Cowboys are using their H-backs to create opportunities in the running game. Well, and how Mestemaker is a generational type of player!

We'll also break down the defensive performance, Isaiah Chisom's big game, LaDainian Fields' impact, Skyler Cassidy's adjustments, and the communication issues OSU still needs to clean up.

Plus, we look at Drew Mestemaker and Coach Eric Morris, evaluate every position group, discuss Big 12 officiating, recruiting momentum, and what this turnaround could mean for the future of Cowboy football.

Is this offense better than the 2011 Cowboys? And what does this team need to do to win out?

*** Leave a comment and let us know what you think!**
