Oklahoma State Football Recruiting Weekly: How Prep Targets Saw Cowboys Huge Win

The Oklahoma State Cowboys put on a show on Saturday as they upset the Oregon Ducks, 39-31, at Boone Pickens Stadium.

It was a show for the nearly 60,000 people that showed up for the game. It was a show for national television audience that followed the game from ESPN network to ESPN network. And it was a show for all the recruiting targets that the Cowboys had on campus.

Per Mike Roach of 247Sports (subscription required), the Cowboys had more than 100 recruits on official visits for the game. What they got was a program-shifting win authored by head coach Eric Morris and the Cowboys.

As you might expect, many of these recruits are on social media. And many of them posted about the game and about their visit after the contest. Here is a compilation of some of those recruits and those posts.

Cooper Clark is a Class of 2028 player from Mustang, Okla., where he’s an offensive lineman who can play all three positions. He took a photo on the field before the game, and you could see the players warming up behind him.

Are all these players going to land with Oklahoma State one day? Probably not. But these official visits are a way of learning more about the program and to find out what gameday is like. And they got an experience that they’re not going to forget anytime soon.
