Locked On Oklahoma State - Daily Podcast On Oklahoma State Cowboys Football & Basketball

Texas Tech surges to the top of Big 12 transfer portal rankings, poaching playmakers like Brennan Sorsby from Cincinnati and sparking debate over NIL and facilities advantages. Can Red Raiders’ big-spending approach shake up the conference power dynamic, or will the “Lubbock tax” backfire? Drake Toll and the panel evaluate top transfers, from Michael Hawkins Jr. joining West Virginia’s new quarterback room to Colorado’s shift from chasing blue blood flameouts to proven Group of Five and FCS talent under Deion Sanders. The coaching carousel takes center stage as Utah icon Kyle Whittingham bolts for Michigan, raiding both Utah and BYU’s staffs and leaving the Big 12 reeling. The hosts break down the fallout for Morgan Scalley, Mark Harlan’s hot seat, and whether Michigan will embrace Whittingham’s culture—or repeat the Rich Rodriguez saga. With Oklahoma State’s portal class and Houston’s “get the band back together” strategy, the Big 12 enters an era of rapid transformation.

#oklahomastate #GoPokes #OKState Oklahoma State just landed MONSTER portal commitments from North Texas, and it changes EVERYTHING in Stillwater. We’re breaking down what the Pokes are getting with QB Drew Mestemaker (the nation’s passing-yards leader), RB Caleb Hawkins (freshman TD record-setter), and WR Wyatt Young (1,264 yards / 10 TD explosive WR1) — plus what Miles Coleman brings as a slot weapon and return-game spark. This is more than “talent.” This is instant offensive DNA coming to OSU with Eric Morris — chemistry, system familiarity, and proven production that can flip a rebuild FAST. #oklahomastate #GoPokes #OKState #CollegeFootball #TransferPortal #Big12 #NIL #OklahomaStateFootball #NorthTexas #CFB

#OklahomaState #GoPokes #Pokes Oklahoma State football is quietly putting together one of the most impressive verified visit lists in the portal cycle, and two names jump off the page immediately: Connor Stroh (Texas) and Kwazi Gilmer (UCLA). Stroh isn’t just a former Texas offensive lineman — he was featured on Bruce Feldman’s Freaks List, a designation reserved for rare athletic outliers in college football. When a player with that kind of size, strength, and Big 12 starting experience shows up in Stillwater, it matters. Then there’s Kwazi Gilmer — UCLA’s most reliable wide receiver, a proven Big Ten-level target with production, polish, and real WR1 traits. Pair that with a deep group of running backs, linemen, and defensive talent visiting Oklahoma State, and suddenly this portal window looks very different. In this episode of Locked On Oklahoma State, we break down: Why Stroh and Gilmer are obvious headliners What Feldman’s Freaks List actually tells us about Stroh Which other visitors could make immediate impacts How this visit list reflects OSU’s portal strategy going forward This is how rosters change fast — and the Cowboys are clearly swinging big. #OklahomaState #GoPokes #Pokes #Cowboys #Big12 #BigTen #SEC #TexasFootball #UCLAFootball #CollegeFootball #TransferPortal #CFB #OSUFootball

#OklahomaState #GoPokes #DrewMestemaker 🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: Drew Mestemaker is an Oklahoma State Cowboy 🚨 The most important domino of the Eric Morris era has fallen. Former North Texas quarterback Drew Mestemaker, one of the most productive passers in college football, has officially committed to Oklahoma State, following head coach Eric Morris to Stillwater. This isn’t just a transfer — this is the foundation of a full-scale program rebuild. Mestemaker led the nation in passing yards, threw for 4,379 yards and 34 touchdowns, and guided North Texas to a 12–2 season, an AAC title game appearance, and a bowl win — all in his first season as a college starter. His rise has been meteoric, and his loyalty to Morris speaks volumes about the belief inside this new Oklahoma State staff. Despite Oklahoma State coming off back-to-back winless Big 12 seasons and a 1–11 year, Mestemaker chose trust over optics, buying fully into Morris’ vision, development track record, and offensive system — the same tree that produced Patrick Mahomes, Cam Ward, and John Mateer. In this episode, we break down: Why Mestemaker is the perfect QB to launch the Morris era How this commitment changes Oklahoma State’s portal perception immediately What his loyalty says about the belief inside the building Why this is the starting point, not the finish line, for a Year One flip How Oklahoma State goes from rock bottom to dangerous — fast This is how rebuilds actually start: Quarterback first. Trust first. Culture first. The Pokes have their guy. 🎧 Locked On Oklahoma State — your daily Oklahoma State Cowboys podcast.
