Every Oklahoma State Player that Made an NFL 53-Man Roster in 2026
In this story:
The Oklahoma State Cowboys are preparing to kick off their 2026 season against Tulsa. But Cowboys alumni are preparing for their NFL season openers next week.
Last weekend was cut down day for all 32 NFL teams as each had to settle on its 53-man roster to begin the season. More than a dozen Cowboys have made the cut and will be on opening day rosters next weekend. Here's a look at each of those players, which NFL team they're with and what they've done in their career to this point.
The list does not include former OSU players that ended up on practice squads after being cut. That list includes wide receiver Brennan Presley, who was cut by the Los Angeles Rams but re-signed to their practice squad after clearing waivers.

He’s expected to play a similar role this season.
