“He never stops wrestling.”

That’s what stands out to David Taylor about Sergio Vega.

Taylor says Vega is tough, goes hard, and has found ways to keep wrestling through some really difficult situations.

Now, the next step?

Find ways to score easier points and make his life a little easier instead of constantly having to win long, hard scrambles.

But when Taylor was asked what makes Vega so good, he kept coming back to one thing:

“A lot of grit.”

#GoPokes #OkState
Sergio Vega has GRIT!
GIA is THE place to be for a home dual.

Don’t believe me?

David Taylor cherishes those nights in Gallagher-Iba Arena.

And opposing coaches tell him all the time just how difficult it is to wrestle in that atmosphere.

There’s a reason they call it Gallagher-Iba.

David Taylor on wrestling Penn State:

“I’m saving an open date every year for Penn State.”

And he doesn't care where it's at.

“If they ever wanna come back here, we don’t care.”David Taylor has a message for Penn State:

He just wants to wrestle the best!

David Taylor On Penn State. "I'm Saving One Date on my Schedule Every Year."
⬇️ David Taylor Press Conference

The head wrestling coach for the Cowboys joined the media for the first time this school year and talked about how the 5-for-5 rule has affected his decision-making on mat time. He was also asked about Jax Forrest, his performance last year, and the Summer he's had. He was also asked about the freshman-to-transfer-portal recruits, spoke about the potential of Dee Lockett, told us what makes Sergio Vega so good, what it will take to catch Penn State and win a National Title and more.

This is a loaded roster, and I was ready to get the season started yesterday!

Jerry Lawson is another super athletic defensive lineman for OSU, and he comes in at OVER 300 pounds as well. In fact, he carried the ball quite a bit back in High School and was an edge rusher, so he brings more versatility to the interior. 

With his size and athletic ability, he's gonna be GREAT at playing downhill in this defense that is gonna do a lot of THAT. So he's a perfect fit beyond just being VERY talented. 

Lawson is transferring in from Louisville and played at Abilene Christian in 2024. #GoPokes #OkState

Ashton Lepo is a 6'8" offensive tackle transferring in from Michigan State.

The length is obvious.

But what really stands out is how quick his feet are for a guy that big.

That allows him to cover a LOT of ground in pass pro.

And that can give this offense the ability to use wider splits, which can open up running lanes while also putting pass rushers farther away from the QB.

Lepo has one year of eligibility left, making him a true “Win Now” addition.

And that’s something we ALL want to see happen on the field.

Offensive Lineman, Joseph Hanson Media Day Interview
There may not be a more “Stillwater” story on the Oklahoma State roster than Jakobe Sanders.

Sanders is a homegrown product who grew up in Stillwater, now wears the Oklahoma State jersey, and is carrying on a family legacy.

His grandfather is Robert Turner — yes, THAT Robert Turner — who played fullback at OSU in the 1970s before going on to play in the NFL with the Miami Dolphins.

And Sanders isn't just a talented offensive lineman.

He's a two-time Academic All-Big 12 honoree and maintained a 4.0 GPA in high school.

He was also coached at Stillwater High School by Charlie Johnson, a former Cowboy offensive lineman who played nine seasons in the NFL and won a Super Bowl with the Indianapolis Colts. Johnson is now Stillwater's offensive line coach.

So Sanders has the bloodlines, the coaching, the intelligence, the size, and now the experience.

He got his first collegiate start against Cincinnati on Homecoming last season, and by the end of 2025, he had started the final six games of the season.

Now he's expanding his game even further, taking reps at center and giving the Cowboys another versatile piece along the offensive line.

He's a local kid. He's a legacy. And he promises to be a VERY important piece of the 2026 Oklahoma State offensive line.

I talked with Jakobe Sanders about all of it in our Media Day interview.
