🎥 OSUMAX: THE BEST OF THE YEAR

It’s been quite a year for OSUMax.

As we wrap up the month of June, we’ll relive some of the
greatest moments and videos of the year with the Top-10
OSUMax features of the year.

#8 - OSU Access: Coach Taylor’s Big Day

A new era of OSU wrestling was ushered in this spring when
legendary wrestler David Taylor was officially handed the reins
of the Cowboys

Flashback to his big day as he is announced as head coach
and hear from him and others on what it means for Cowboys wrestling.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Showin’ Out In The Sun. It’s the opportunity that they’ve dreamed about since playing whiffle ball in the backyard.

That opportunity is taking place this week as five members of the OSU baseball program are in Phoenix, Ariz. at Chase Field at the 2024 MLB Draft Combine.

Carson Benge, Zach Ehrhard, Brian Holiday, Janzen Keisel and Ryan Ure are all among the 300+ draft prospects hoping to catch the eye of one of the 30 MLB clubs in attendance.

⚾️: More On This Year’s Combine

🔺 Power Pair. All spring long, Lexi Kilfoyl and Caroline Wang proved they among college softball’s best duos on the diamond.

That success wasn’t limited to on the field for the pair of Cowgirls.

This week, both Kilfoyl and Wang were named first team Academic All-Americans by the College Sport Communicators (CSC).

The duo gives the Cowgirls their ninth and 10^th first-team selections in program history, raising the program total to 22 Academic All-Americans.

Kilfoyl and Wang are the 11^th and 12^th Cowgirls to be named both All-Americans and Academic All-Americans in the same season, with 10 of those 12 coming in the Gajewski era.

🏈 COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: 73 DAYS

Number of the Day: 73

That’s the total number of tackles from Collin Oliver last season
after moving from the defensive end position to a linebacker
spot for the Cowboys in the fall.

The 73 tackles is a career-best for Oliver, who earned his third straight
Second Team All-Big 12 accolade last season.

He announced his return for one more year in Stillwater and
will look to be a key leader on the defensive unit in 2024.

🎥 OSUMAX: ROLLIN’ WITH BARRY

No better way to help countdown til Cowboy football than
reliving one of the best players in college football history!

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. 

🤔 COWBOY TRIVIA

With Kilfoyl and Wang both earning spots on the First Team Academic All-American squad, it marks only the second time in OSU softball history that the Cowgirls had multiple first-team selections.

When was the only other season that accomplishment occurred?
