Another Cowboy is testing the waters of the transfer portal.
Oklahoma State wide receiver Tre Griffiths plans to enter the portal, becoming the latest player to explore new opportunities amid the Cowboys’ offseason coaching transition. It’s a move that reflects a broader trend across college football-when leadership changes, rosters often follow suit.
Griffiths, a 6-foot-3 receiver out of Keller, Texas, came to Stillwater with high expectations. A four-star prospect and the No. 46-ranked player in Texas in his class, he brought size, athleticism, and a strong high school résumé to the program. As a senior, he posted 43 catches for 847 yards and eight touchdowns-numbers that turned heads and hinted at his potential to make an impact at the next level.
But after two seasons with the Cowboys, Griffiths is still looking for his breakthrough. He heads into 2026 as a redshirt sophomore, having seen limited action over the past two years.
He made appearances in Oklahoma State’s 2024 season finale against Colorado and saw the field again in 2025 against UT-Martin and Oregon. However, he didn’t register any stats in those games.
Now, he’ll look for a fresh start elsewhere, hoping a change of scenery might unlock the production that once made him a prized recruit.
Griffiths is the second Oklahoma State wide receiver to enter the portal this cycle, joining Jaylen Lloyd, a former Nebraska transfer. With the Cowboys navigating a coaching change, more roster movement could be on the horizon.
Thanks to a recent NCAA rule change, players like Griffiths don’t have to wait long to make their moves. A 15-day transfer window opens five days after a new head coach is hired, giving players a short but crucial window to weigh their options. The official NCAA winter portal window opens January 2 and runs through January 16.
For Griffiths, this is a chance to reset, recalibrate, and find a program where he can turn potential into production. And for Oklahoma State, it’s another reminder that in today’s college football landscape, change comes fast-on the field, on the sidelines, and in the locker room.
