📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Back-to-Back-TO-BACK. We’ve kinda run out of words to say about Ollie Gordon II.

For a third straight week, he’s put together a dominant performance and for a third straight week, he’s been named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.

Gordon rushed for 271 yards and two touchdowns while averaging 10.8 yards per carry in OSU's 45-13 win over Cincinnati Saturday night. The Bearcats entered the game with the Big 12's best rushing defense. They were No. 18 nationally in that category.

Gordon joins Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders as the only Oklahoma State players to rush for more than 250 yards in consecutive weeks. Gordon, a Fort Worth product from Euless Trinity High School, ran for 282 yards the previous week at West Virginia.

Gordon is the first player to three-peat as the conference's player of the week in 10 years.

🔼 Sneak Peek. Want to get a sneak peek at what’s coming this year for Cowgirl Hoops?

Tonight’s your shot!

GIA at 6:30. Be there as the Orange and Black welcome Oklahoma Christian for a little “Trick or Treat” hoops exhibition style.

🔼 Acing The First Impression. After spending four years at George Fox in Division III, Leon Johnson III had been waiting for his opportunity on the biggest stage.

We’d have to say he aced the first impression stage.

Johnson made his first FBS start in this past weekend’s home win over Cincinnati, hauling in five catches for 149 yards.

For his performance, he was named Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Week.

Johnson's receiving total marked the third-most in a Big 12 game this season.

🔼 One Hall of A Career. It’s a phone call that they’ll remember forever.

Former Cowboy wrestlers Coleman Scott and Tadaaki Hatta were introducted as members of the Class of 2024 for the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.

Scott was a tremendous wrestler for Oklahoma State from 2005-08, compiling a career record of 120-24. He earned All-America honors in each of his four seasons in Stillwater, one of just 15 Cowboys to ever do so, and played a vital role in OSU's team titles in 2005 and 2006.

Hatta wrestled for the Cowboys from 1964-66 after arriving in the United States from Tokyo, Japan in 1961. He put together a 36-8 career record for OSU, including a perfect 12-0 junior season, which was capped off by an NCAA title at 115 pounds.

Former Cowboy Jimmy Jackson was the most recent OSU wrestler to receive the honor as a Distinguished Member as part of the Class of 2023.
