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. #GoPokes #OkState
We Call Ourselves the Misfits! Coach Morris on Building Belief & Restoring Confidence
🚨 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. 🎥 Watch the full interview: [YouTube link] More Oklahoma State Media Day interviews coming from OState Daily. 🟠⚫️ #GoPokes #OKState #OStateDaily #CowboyFootball #JacobSexton

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. 🎥 Watch the full interview: https://youtu.be/ss-rndaoHiI More Oklahoma State Media Day interviews coming from OState Daily. 🟠⚫️ #GoPokes #OKState #OStateDaily #CowboyFootball #KollinLewis

🚨 Maurion Horn is coming home — and he's bringing experience and lockdown man-coverage ability with him. Horn talked with us about his return to Oklahoma State, his expectations for the season, and more at Media Day. 🎥 Full interview: [link] #GoPokes #OKState #OStateDaily

🏈 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. #GoPokes #OKState #OStateDaily
The Underrated Aspects of Wyatt Young!
🚨 Drew Mestemaker has a very polished throwing motion. That’s according to Head Coach Eric Morris, who also breaks down why he's excited about the progress of Mestemaker and his ability to make all the throws, move around the pocket while keeping his eyes downfield, and get the ball out with a quick release. 🎥 Hear it from Coach Morris himself from today's Media Day Press Conference #GoPokes #OKState #OStateDaily
Drew Mestemaker is POLISHED! Don't Believe Me!
🚨 Christian Bodnar...OKAY, I can get down with what Coach Morris said about YOU. Household name in 3...2....1...LFG! The secondary might be the position group with the most intriguing battles at Oklahoma State. LaDainian Fields finished last season with a LOT of momentum, and Kollin Lewis did the same at North Texas. Mo Horn is coming home, bringing plenty of experience and proven man-coverage ability. And he's also a pretty fun guy to talk to. Quinton Hammonds had a VERY good season last year and has taken his game to another level, including transforming his body this offseason. And Coach Morris says Evan Jackson is SUPER talented, and has shown flashes of it at UNT, but needs to take that next step. Lots of intriguing pieces competing for playing time. 🎥 Coach Morris went into great detail on both the cornerbacks and safeties during today's Media Day Press Conference #GoPokes #OkState

Headed back to Stillwater today to cover OSU practice, so I'm SUPER excited about that! This roster has talent, it's diverse, and it has a TON of college experience—even if a lot of it came somewhere other than OSU. And, IMO, the most underrated part of this team is the continuity they already have with these schemes. Yeah, there are a bunch of transfers, but a lot of these guys have either played for this staff before or have played in very similar systems. That allows the coaches to spend WAY less time on install and WAY more time coaching the details. And that's when teams become the best version of themselves. If THIS roster gets there...LOOK OUT. Now, all that said, there's no magic sauce. Just because these guys know the system doesn't mean they're automatically going to hit the ground running. As Coach Morris said, this team needs all 25 practices to build the continuity it'll need to play at the level it's capable of. I'm really looking forward to seeing how much progress they've made since the first practice. As always, if there's anything you want me to keep an eye on or any type of coverage you'd like to see from practice, let me know. I'll do my best to make it happen. #GoPokes #OkState
