๐ŸŽฅ OSUMAX: EMBRACE THE GRIND

The 2024 Cowboys began camp as one of the most experienced
teams in the country, returning 20 starters from a team
finishing 10-4 in 2023.

Among the group returning are five starters on the offensive line and
others with experience helping the program build a solid foundation.

๐Ÿ“ˆ STOCK UP

๐Ÿ”ผ Poll Position. With just over three weeks to go before kickoff, expectations arenโ€™t only high for the Cowboys in Stillwater, but also on the national stage.

Loaded with a wealth of experience, OSU was slotted #18 in the USA Today Coaches Poll that was released on Monday.

๐Ÿ”ผ Futbol Is Coming. While football kickoff is 25 days away, Cowgirl futbol is under 10 days with just nine days separating OSU from the start of the 2024-25 athletic calendar.

The Cowgirls are set to open the season on Thursday, Aug. 15 when they travel to Lincoln, Neb. to take on the Cornhuskers.

๐Ÿ”ผ Another Line On The Resume. The resume of Ollie Gordon continues to grow longer and longer.

This week, OG2 added another line with yet another spot on a preseason watch list.

Gordon was named to the Walter Camp Player of the Year watch list.

As the nation's fourth-oldest individual college football award, the watch list for the Walter Camp Player of the Year includes 50 total players, nine of which come from the Big 12 Conference. Gordon was a semifinalist for the award last season and enters 2024 already on the Walter Camp Preseason All-American first team.

Now in his junior year, Gordon possesses the potential to make a run at the Heisman Trophy after leading the nation in rushing yards and winning the Doak Walker Award, unanimous All-America honors, Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and leading all running backs in Heisman votes.
