Oklahoma State is turning a huge home weekend into a recruiting push.
With No. 6 Oregon coming to Stillwater, the Cowboys have a long list of class of 2027 and 2028 prospects on campus for official visits, and they’ve also used the moment to hand out at least four new offers. Each of those players announced the news on social media.
LaDarius Jemes was first to reveal his offer on Monday. The Huntsville, Ala., pass rusher is listed at 6-4 and 245 pounds and is playing at Hutchinson (Kan.)
Junior College, one of the top junior college leagues in the country. Hutchinson’s site lists him as a redshirt freshman, and he has 11 tackles and one sack through two games this season.
Hutchinson is 2-0.
Eddie Robinson Jr. announced his offer later that same day. Robinson, a 6-6, 230-pound edge rusher at Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas, is another junior college prospect on Oklahoma State’s radar. He already holds offers from Baylor and UTSA, and 247Sports lists him as a three-star player.
Coaleon Johnson shared his offer on Wednesday. The Iowa Western cornerback stands 6-4 and had three interceptions in last weekend’s game against Coffeyville CC. The Juco All-American is expected to graduate in December, and Kansas State, SMU and UTSA have also offered the Chicago native.
Joshua Lane is the lone non-junior college player among the new offers. The Memphis Central High School edge rusher is a Class of 2027 target listed at 6-4 and 250 pounds.
247Sports has him as a three-star prospect and one of the top 70 players in Tennessee. He is committed to Memphis, so Oklahoma State appears to be pursuing him as a flip target.
The Cowboys’ Class of 2027 currently sits at 12 commitments, and the staff is still looking to add before the early signing period begins in December.
On defense, Oklahoma State has commitments from Choctaw, Okla., linebacker Israel Hammons, Broken Bow, Okla., defensive back Bryson Brown, Trinity (Euless, Texas) High School safety Chayce Davis and Baton Rouge Catholic edge rusher Jayden Vessell. Hammons is a four-star recruit, according to 247Sports.com.
On offense, the highest-rated commit is Jenks, Okla., offensive lineman Odaefe Oruru, who pledged last month. The rest of the offensive class includes Fort Bend Hightower quarterback Carson White, Bolingbrook, Ill., running back TJ Lewis, American Leadership Academy tight end Talan Scott, Pryor High School wide receiver Cooper Hooker and Argyle, Texas, wide receiver Ake O’Neal.

For a team trying to steady itself this early, the challenge is not just surviving another difficult test, but proving it can keep pace long enough to make the night matter deep into the fourth quarter.

Oklahoma State Faces A Serious Problem Up Front Against Oregon
Oregon arrives in Stillwater with plenty of momentum after handling Boise State and now steps into its first road test of the season against an Oklahoma State team trying to steady itself up front. The Ducks have already shown they can lean on Dante Moore and the passing game, and this matchup offers a chance to see how that balance travels when the crowd gets louder and the game gets more physical.
For the Cowboys, the concern is less about one isolated matchup than the pressure Oregon can apply all over the line of scrimmage. The Ducks pass rush figures to be the first real test for Drew Mestemaker in his latest turn under center, and Oklahoma States recent issues only make the margin for error thinner as it tries to keep the game from tilting early.

Oklahoma State Losses Keep Leading To One Students Wildest Punishments
With Oklahoma States football season producing its share of frustrations, junior Seth Storey has turned the losses into a very public experiment in self-inflicted misery. The Oklahoma State University student built a growing list of personal punishments tied to Cowboys game results, borrowing the idea from something he saw online and adapting it into a series of opponent-specific dares that range from physical challenges to more absurd inconveniences.
Storey has stuck with the concept all season, even after one recent loss sent him into a chicken-tender marathon at a restaurant, part of the kind of punishment he says he intends to follow through on whenever the Cowboys come up short. The whole thing has made for a strange, evolving side plot around the program, with each defeat carrying a different penalty and one looming challenge still hanging out there as the season moves along.
