🔼 Lucky No. 13. Now, the party begins.

On Monday night, the OSU women’s tennis team earned its 13th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, punching their ticket to the opening rounds in Norman.

The Cowgirls will be in the Norman regional, taking on No. 40 Tulsa on Friday at 11 a.m. The winner of that match will then take on the winner of No. 4 Oklahoma and Denver on Saturday at 2 p.m.

OSU has advanced past the first round in 10 of the last 11 tournaments, and it has reached the Sweet 16 in two of the last three and six of the last eight, including last season.

🔼 Bright Future. Coming off a historic season on the mats, the future of the Cowboy wrestling program continues to get brighter.

Over the weekend, incoming freshman LaDarion Lockett bested the 74-kilogram field to win a U20 title at the CLAW U.S. Open Championships.

With the win, Lockett earned automatic qualification into the best-of-three finals at this June's U20 World Team Trials. Another victory there would then make Lockett the U.S. representative at the 2025 U20 World Championships.

Lockett put together a 6-0 record throughout the weekend and dominated his way to the championship match, winning each of his first five bouts via technical fall.

🔼 New Address. Same state. New address.

Former OSU standout Emmanuel Ogbah is staying in the Sunshine State, but heading a bit north.

Over the weekend, Ogbah signed a new one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars for the upcoming 2025 season. The upcoming season would be his 10th NFL season, making him the 20th former Poke to play 10+ seasons in the NFL.

In his nine seasons, Ogbah has played in 123 games, racking up 317 tackles and 47 sacks in his career.

🎥 OSUMAX: PATH TO THE PROS

This past weekend, 9️⃣ different former Cowboys earned a spot with NFL organizations
over the weekend with four selected in the draft and five more signing free agent deals.

No better place to relive some of their careers than OSUMax.
