🔺 Gator Wrestling. We got a big one folks!

The Cowgirls are back in OKC and ready to flex their muscles against the country’s best. Up first is the fourth-seeded Florida Gators tonight on ESPN.

OSU and Florida have a tendency of meeting each other in the postseason, with five of their last six contests coming in the NCAA Tournament.

The winners of tonight’s matchup will take on the winner of #1 Texas and #8 Stanford on Saturday evening.

🔺 Growing The Family. Just a few weeks into their stay in Stillwater, Coach Taylor and his crew landed a big name for next season.

Earlier this week, two-time All-American Dean Hamiti Jr. has signed to join the Pokes with one year of eligibility remaining.

Hamiti spent the past three years at Wisconsin, where he saw immense success at 165 pounds. Since being inserted into the lineup as a true freshman, Hamiti has qualified for the NCAA Championships in three straight seasons, including sixth-place finishes in 2022 and 2023, and racked up an impressive 81-14 record.

He also owns 40 wins over ranked opponents to just 13 losses and has won 42 of his 46 dual matches, while earning bonus points in 68% of his career bouts. Eleven of the 40 ranked wins throughout his career have come against top-10 opponents.

🎥 OSUMAX: BARRY, BARRY, BARRY!

A two-part OSU Max Original, Barry Sanders: Out of Nowhere, tells the story of how Barry became Barry, weaving through his childhood in Wichita and the pivotal moments that shaped his legendary career. 

Through exclusive interviews with his family, close friends,
former teammates, coaches and Barry himself,
Barry Sanders: Out of Nowhere provides an
unprecedented glimpse into the Cowboy icon.
