With the recruiting period for high school athletes having finally being completed, the Oklahoma State Cowboys were able to secure National Letter of Intent for 23 future Cowboys. LaCueva High School (NM) DE Weston Steelhammer, Tight Ends Mike Andrews, from Grapevine (TX) High School, and Deontay Korecky, from Cinco Ranch High School in Katy (Tx), headline a solid recruiting class for first year Cowboys head coach, wheeler.

 

The Cowboy's recruiting class ranks No. 26 in the SimFBA nation according to the 247sports composite rankings, which is good for fifth in the Big 12.

 

Because of the talent currently on the roster and the lack of playing time at many positions, the staff attacked positions of need. This class is made up of mostly offensive lineman, defensive backs and defensive lineman. Eleven of OSU’s 19 commits plays one of those position groups. The rest of the class is rounded out with some options at wide receiver, a potential quarterback of the future, several offensive and defensive linemen, and more.

 

Again, we can debate all day about the importance of recruiting rankings. It’s been proven that team recruiting rankings is tied to on-field success to a degree, but it isn’t the end-all-be-all. Wheeler and the coaching staff have continually show an ability to find recruits who far outperform their rankings.
