The story of how Matt Monger actually became a starter at OSU is absolutely INCREDIBLE! This is one you DON'T want to miss. Jim Tolleson got hurt, so Monger wore his number. Well, then, when Tolleson came back, Herring forgot and thought he was watching Monger when he was actually watching Tolleson. Then, Jim Krebs broke his arm 2 weeks before the opener, and Herring INSISTED that Monger be the starter. Monger overheard the entire staff meeting, and when he heard Herring, he knew he couldn't let him down. And...he didn't! As in...HE REALLY DIDN'T! What a story, and you can check out the entire interview below. 🎥Watch: https://youtu.be/YA64aAjsBKo
The Story of How Matt Monger Became a Starter at OSU! WOW!
Matt Monger, who played half a decade in the NFL, and has been recognized by OSU as one of the Top 100 Greatest Football players in the history of OSU, was asked to QUIT by Jimmy Johnson. So, he thought about it, and instead of quitting, Monger decided to redshirt, then re-wrote the way history was supposed to remember someone in his situation. Incredible story & Monger tells it in this video. ⬇️Check out the full interview https://youtu.be/YA64aAjsBKo
The Time Matt Monger Refused to Quit!
What's YOUR identity? 🤔 Matt Monger says he doesn't live by discipline... He lives by identity. He believes that when you identify with the person you want to become, discipline takes care of itself. That mindset took him from: ➡️ Oklahoma State walk-on 🏈 NFL player 💰 Millionaire He also believes Oklahoma State has to stop identifying itself as a program that's supposed to lose. As Matt says... "No, we're NOT." Powerful perspective from one of Oklahoma State's all-time greats. 🎥 Watch the full interview on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YA64aAjsBKo #GoPokes #OkState #
Master Your Identity Why Discipline Alone Fails You! A Message From Cowboy Great Matt Monger
Matt Monger, despite having a Hall of Fame Career at Miami High School, where he became an All-Stater in BOTH wrestling & footbal, had no offers to play football and eventually chose to walk-on at OSU. But, he was NOT going to let other people define him, or tell him what he couldn't do.

Matt Monger Interview | Former Oklahoma State GREAT Reflects on His Journey from Walk-On to the NFL
Check out the handles from Jacob Walker, the vision, the downhill finish, then the bomb to cap it off. We've been tellin' ya' he's DYNAMIC...well, here ya' go! Enjoy! 🤠🔥 #GoPokes #OkState
Jacob Walker is DYNAMIC!
I am SUPER pumped about having Jalen Montonati on campus. Just having a legacy that ties back to what OSU basketball can look like is, IMO, very exciting. Well, and so is the potential of Jalen! The skills that wow the most would be his shooting, combined with his frame, and then his overall basketball IQ. But I think his biggest asset is his offensive versatility. He can shoot over shorter guards, he's quick enough to beat bigger guards, he knows how to set his defender up, he understands spacing, and he can put the ball on the floor and finish. Jalen also has tremendous experience for a true freshman. He won a Gold medal while a part of the USA Basketball FIBA U1 team, and he was a Multi-time Oklahoma Gatorade Player of the Year at Owasso. Welcome Jalen...LFG! #GoPokes #OkState
Jalen Montonati IS OSU Legacy!
Anthony Felesi...Up, Up & AWAY! This dude is ELECTRIC! The way he uses his athletic ability and 7-foot wingspan to play above the rim is MUST-SEE! The freshmen, Allmond, Felesi, Robinson, & Montonati scored 36 points last night. I get it, these games are exhibitions, but still, that is against Pros, so that still is VERY exciting & impressive! Then the Sophomores, Mekhi Ragland, Ryan Crotty, Ben Ahmed & Jacob Walker had 37! That's 73 points from the underclassmen, and in today's day and age of transfers, that's an impressive piece of roster building from Coach Lutz if you ask me. The transfers of Bogavac, Grbovic, Burks, Halaifonua, and Natt, combined with the veteran leadership of Kanye Clary needs to steal the show for this team to be what we want it to be. BUT...To see THOSE building blocks being put into place is SUPER fun. #GoPokes #OkState
Anthony Felesi...Up, Up & AWAY! 7 Foot Wingspan & Jet Fuel on the Takeoff!
