The Cowboys have had an eventful offseason. Today, we’ll look at some of the impactful Oklahoma State transfers. First, Oklahoma State’s football program picked up former Washington State wide-receiver Davontavean Martin<\/a><\/strong>. He announced his transfer to the Cowboys Saturday night via Twitter. With the NCAA granting immediate eligibility, Martin adds another weapon on offense that already has Chuba Hubbard<\/a><\/strong> and Tylan Wallace<\/a><\/strong>. Additionally, the NCAA announced earlier that no players will lose a year of eligibility this season. With that, Martin could spend two seasons in Stillwater. However, there is plenty of competition at the wide receiver position, with seniors Dillon Stoner<\/a><\/strong> and Landon Wolf<\/strong><\/a>, redshirt junior Braydon Johnson<\/a><\/strong> and grad-transfer Dee Anderson<\/a><\/strong> all competing for snaps.<\/p>\n As we continue looking at the Oklahoma State transfers, there are some losses to the program. The Cowboys football team lost a couple starting offensive linemen through the transfer portal. Redshirt sophomore Bryce Bray<\/strong><\/a> announced on Thursday that he is entering the transfer portal. But, another redshirt sophomore Jacob Ferrell<\/strong> entered the portal earlier in the week. Earlier this summer, starting right tackle Dylan Galloway<\/strong><\/a> left the team due to injuries. However, it will be something to watch for this Fall as they try and protect Spencer Sanders<\/a><\/strong>, Nolan McLean<\/strong>, and the other quarterbacks. Fortunately for the Cowboys, senior offensive tackle Teven Jenkins<\/strong><\/a>, included in the Reese\u2019s Senior Bowl Top 250 seniors list, anchors the line. Pro Football Focus ranks Jenkins as the Big 12’s top returning offensive lineman for the 2020 season.<\/p>\n Gundy spoke to members of local media on Monday, August 17th<\/sup>, the first time since the OAN (One America News) controversy. In reality, tension and disconnect came from star player Hubbard and others. Hubbard and Gundy created a video that was shared across social media, and that may have helped the situation. To quote the head coach: \u201cnothing more than just listening to the players and getting back into a routine. We\u2019re back to normal around here, we\u2019re up and running just looking forward to the season.\u201d<\/p>\n Primarily known for their offensive firepower and statistics, this year\u2019s defensive unit gives Gundy and defensive coordinator Jim Knowles<\/strong> a lot of confidence. For example, leaders on the defensive side of the ball include Calvin Bundage<\/a><\/strong>, Trace Ford<\/a><\/strong>, Amen Ogbongbemiga<\/a><\/strong>, Malcolm Rodriguez<\/a><\/strong>, and Christian Holmes<\/a><\/strong>. Important to note, potentially 10 out of eleven starters played significant time in 2019. Comparatively, other defensive players such as Kolby Harvell-Peel<\/strong><\/a>, Rodarius Williams<\/a><\/strong>, and Cameron Murray<\/strong><\/a> plan on creating havoc for opposing offenses. When asked about the potential of Ford, defensive coordinator Knowles stated \u201cthe kid is a physical specimen with unbelievable short space quickness, a great first step and I think he is an All-American prospect.\u201d<\/p>\nOklahoma State Lose Offensive Linemen to Transfer Portal<\/h3>\n
