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.

Braylon Rigsby, Defensive Lineman, Exclusive Media Day Interview
One thing I think OSU fans will notice, which may or may not surprise them, is that this offense is going to run the ball.

Coach Morris has a ton of respect for Mike Leach, and he uses a lot of Leach's principles, plays, and concepts.

But Coach Morris isn't Mike Leach.

He understands that if you're going to win games, you have to be able to protect a lead.

And one of the best ways to do that is to take the air out of the ball and play some “how big of an ole boy are ya?” football.

That's going to be a big part of this offense.

Coach has talked about wanting a minimum of 150 rushing yards.

And here's something else I really believe:

If this offense is running the football effectively, Coach Morris isn't going to get bored with it.

He's not going to assume, IMO, “Well, we've been running it too much, surely the defense has it figured out by now.”

Points and explosive plays are great.

But winning is the ultimate motivator for him, as he's stated on multiple occasions.

So if running the football is what gives this team the best chance to win, that's what they're going to do.

Now, there are going to be games where they spread the field, throw the ball all over the place, play SUPER fast, jump out to a lead, and then start pounding the run game to finish it off.

And there are going to be other games where a team drops eight in coverage to make the point that, “You're not throwing it.”

That's when I want to see Caleb Hawkins.

Let Hawkins go beat up linebackers at the second level and safeties at the third level.

And that's what makes him so fun. The guy can be a battering ram, but he can also take it to the HOUSE. Then, once you've softened that defense up a little bit, the other backs have the speed and quickness to come in shot out of a cannon.

That's what makes the potential of this offense so fun. There are just SO many ways they should be able to attack a defense.

Take what the defense gives you.

If they want to give you the run, run it.

If they want to give you the pass, throw it.

If you need to play fast, play fast.

If they want to load the box, throw the ball.

There isn't just one way this offense is going to win a football game, and I can't wait to see it.

This Team IS Going to RUN the Ball!
Cowboy Conversation | Paul Blair & The Barry Hanna Play! 

There have been some great games and some great moments throughout OSU football, very few more memorable than the "Barry Hanna" play. In 1984, OSU faced South Carolina in what was the first of back-to-back appearances in the Gator Bowl.
It was a matchup of two Top 10 teams that had both spent much of the season with much bigger postseason aspirations. Instead, after late-season losses knocked them out of the national-title picture, they met in Jacksonville with the Gator Bowl championship on the line.

OSU got out to a quick lead behind Thurman Thomas and an offense loaded with firepower. But, as the game wore on, the two heavyweights traded blows, and, as it turned out, it came down to one possession. THE possession, and THE Barry Hanna play!

3:41 remaining. Own 12-yard line. Down 14-13.

Two minutes and 37 seconds later, Oklahoma State was celebrating one of the most dramatic victories in program history as a helmetless Barry Hanna bounced off two tacklers and carried several more South Carolina defenders into the end zone.

Blair and much of the core of that team were juniors that year, and it felt like that game was going to be a springboard to a 1985 season that had the potential for more. In fact, the former NFL lineman thinks that team might be the most talented that OSU has ever had. That roster had a future Pro Football Hall of Famer in Thurman Thomas, a future College Football Hall of Famer in Leslie O'Neal, and an NFL quarterback in Rusty Hilger. It also produced more than a dozen players who either played in the NFL or were drafted.

Beyond Thurman and Leslie, there were Matt Monger, John Washington, Paul Blair, Charles Crawford, Mark Moore, Kelly Cook, Ronnie Williams, Kenny Zachary, Ricky Shaw, and Bobby Riley. Raymond Polk, Adam Hinds, and Jamie Harris were all drafted as well.

Many, including Blair, believe that starting with the 1983 team, Oklahoma State had three consecutive teams that could have — and maybe should have — played for a national championship. In my opinion, those three teams were the best three-year run in OSU football history.

Blair went on to play in the NFL, and if there was a Hall of Fame running back to block for, he did it. In college, at OSU, he blocked for Ernest Anderson, Thurman Thomas, Shawn Jones, and Charles Crawford. In the NFL, he blocked for Walter Payton at Chicago, Tony Dorsett in Denver, Herschel Walker with Minnesota, and played in the Japan Bowl with Bo Jackson.

What a team. What a player. And what a moment in Oklahoma State football history.

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.
