🎥 OSU MAX: THE RIDE IS COMING

The. Best. In. The. Country.

Stay tuned TONIGHT for a brand new episode of The Ride as OSUMax takes you behind the scenes of Gordon’s big night.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Mat Master. It may have only been Brayden Thompson’s first taste of Bedlam, but he wasted little time in making an impression on the rivalry.

Thompson posted a perfect 2-0 weekend for the Orange & Black with an 8-2 win over Lehigh’s Thayne Lawrence last Friday and followed that up with a dominant 9-0 major decision over OU’s Tate Picklo, who entered the match ranked 17th in the country.

The performance marked his first career win over a ranked opponent and his first time earning bonus points as a Cowboy.

🔼 Helping Hands. All fall long, Brennan Presley was showing of his hands by corralling passes for the Cowboys.

This week, Presley used those hands to give back as he teamed with Pokes With A Purpose to give back, gathering a slew of coats for a local coat drive in Stillwater.

Well done BP!
