Oklahoma State1-114Gundy's second straight top-10 portal class arrives after a 1-11 season with 44% production returning — Mestemaker and Hawkins fill holes in a program defined by defiance.
Oklahoma State spent twenty years as Mike Gundy's program — then fired him three games into a 1-11 collapse and handed a flattened roster to Eric Morris, the first sitting FBS coach Stillwater has ever hired.
The fanbase spent a generation insisting Stillwater was its own program, not a satellite of the school 80 miles south. A 1-11 season handed Oklahoma every easy joke — and the room is daring Morris to…

Oklahoma State is the program that lived in Mike Gundy's mullet for 20 years and built a Big 12 identity around being not-Oklahoma.
The team returns only 44% of its roster, with significant losses in key positions like WR and DL, and a recruiting rank of #69.
Pistol Pete watches the horizon.
the open questionis the portal class enough to move the needle?
Kyran Duhon and Wendell Gregory arrive as Oklahoma State's top-3 Big 12 portal class tries to salvage a 1-11 season with Mike Gundy's identity on the line.
Eric Morris took over as Oklahoma State's head coach, replacing Mike Gundy.
Mike Gundy's 10th season opens with a 1-11 losing record and a #49 talent rank, raising questions about whether Oklahoma State can cross into bowl eligibility with its current trajectory.
Kalib Hicks sees a real spike in usage once the game is out of reach, and his efficiency in competitive snaps sits below the position baseline -- the numbers lean on the opponent giving up.
Gavin Freeman is used almost exclusively underneath -- a low share of his targets are downfield shots.
Rodney Fields Jr. does NOT see a usage spike in garbage time -- his workload holds steady regardless of score.
Oklahoma State: coordinator change reshaping a unit.

Gundy's second straight top-10 portal class arrives after a 1-11 season with 44% production returning — Mestemaker and Hawkins fill holes in a program defined by defiance.
Oklahoma State's Iman Oates granted temporary restraining order in eligibility case against NCAA
A temporary restraining order forcing the NCAA's hand on a 2022 athlete's eligibility isn't just one player's fight — Morris gets a potential depth add at WR while a class ranked 69th nationally needs every live body it can claim.
S Markeith Williams transfer commits from Miami
Safety room bled 12 out and added 10 back, but Landyn Cleveland's exit left a starter-shaped hole — Williams coming out of Miami's ACC program is the answer Gundy needed at the top of that depth chart.
Win total: 5.5 → 6.5 (▲1)
Win total jumped from 5.5 to 6.5 with conference peers flat — the books see something program-specific.
CB Jeremiah Piper transfer commits from Youngstown State
Twelve in, ten out — the CB room churned all offseason, and Piper is the FCS tape Gundy's staff bet on to actually stick in Big 12 competition after losing JK Johnson.
RB T.J. Lewis commits to Oklahoma State
Development class ranked 53rd nationally but WR pressure is real — Lewis slots into a backfield where Eric Morris needs controllable pieces while the portal class settles in around him.

Oklahoma State signed a top-20 transfer-portal class — 40 additions headlined by Hauss Hejny (QB) from TCU and Banks Bowen (QB) from Tulsa. It is a top-2 portal class in the Big 12 this cycle. Portal pickups are proven college players — the split isn't about development, it's about whether they fit the scheme and win their position battles. Coverage is split on whether volume or positional fit is the bigger story.
The 'portal class fills the gaps' believers -- upgrades at real positions of need.
The 'portal is a gamble' counter -- departure losses and the 'plug-and-play doesn't work' read.

Eric Morris took over as Oklahoma State's head coach, replacing Mike Gundy. It is replaces 6-year head coach Mike Gundy (38-34). It's not the hire that's the story anymore — it's everything it set in motion. The room has bought in, but early believers have been wrong before.

The reason that Oklahoma State will not be scoring 30 to 40 points per game is because it's not enough to have a Drew Mestermaker and a Caleb Hawkins.....somebody has to pass protect, and open holes.
📌 Drew Mestemaker is one of the best QBs in the country 🔥

“Yeah that’d be neat. I’ve thought about that as well. I wonder how quickly a kicker can take a kick-off start vs how fast the defense can get to the holder. Like where is the sweet spot, ya know?”— r/CFB
“If you don’t like that brand of Cowboy football then maybe you’re just too poor.”— r/CFB
“Upsetting a top 10 team at home with your winless team with an interim head coach and you don’t storm the field? LMAO”— r/CFB
“Hahaha yall didn’t cover the spread against the worst team in FBS! (Please don’t mock me, this was the biggest win this team has gotten this year since an uninspiring win against a sub .500 FCS team)”— r/CFB
“The sooner that everyone accepts this is 2007 2 electric boogaloo the happier everyone will be. It’s a chaotic season at the crossroads of major changes in college football. I’m also just now realizing a lot of fans probably don’t remember 2007 and now I feel old”— r/CFB

Halftime identity
1st-half offense ranks 23rd percentile in FBS; 2nd-half, 4th — competitive snaps only, garbage time excluded from both halves.
Schedule mirage
Raw EPA/play through week 21 is -0.02; 4th percentile once opponent strength is stripped out, it's -0.01. The widest gap came in week 1: 0.19 raw vs. 0.01 adjusted.
Oklahoma State reads strongest in rushing epa allowed (top 66%) and explosive plays (top 69%); the crux lives in rushing epa, where Oklahoma State sits at the 1st percentile.

All-Time Record
since 1912 · 114 seasons · .504 win rate
Mike Gundy coached Oklahoma State for 21 seasons and turned it into a Big 12 winner. Then 2025 happened — 1-11, 0-9 in the Big 12, fired in September — and Eric Morris inherited a program torn to the studs.
The foundation was real. Boone Pickens poured half a billion dollars into Stillwater when the program was an afterthought, building facilities that matched any blue blood in the country at a land-grant school in rural Oklahoma. Gundy took that investment and built a 20-year run: eight wins a season, the 2011 Big 12 championship, a 12-1 Fiesta Bowl year and a No. 3 final ranking behind the best offense the program had ever fielded. Barry Sanders won the Heisman here in 1988 in the most statistically dominant college running back season on record. Oklahoma State built an identity around being distinct from the school 80 miles south — the cowboy mythology, Pistol Pete, the orange-out crowds in Stillwater — and for two decades it held.
The 2025 collapse erased that momentum in a single autumn. A 1-2 start became a 1-11 finish, a winless Big 12 record, and ten straight losses. Gundy was fired on September 23 — the end of the most important coaching tenure in program history arriving not with a ceremony but with a 1-2 record and a room that had stopped believing. Eric Morris, hired from North Texas in November, is the first sitting FBS head coach Stillwater has ever brought in, and the first since 1969 the Cowboys hired from another program at all. He inherited 85-plus portal additions and the task of rebuilding from a foundation that is still real, even if the 2025 season made it hard to see.
The 2026 season isn't a contention story; it's a credibility story. The question Morris has to answer first isn't whether Oklahoma State can return to the Big 12's top tier — it's whether the program's culture survived 2025 intact. Gundy's loyalists say it did: the facilities are still world-class, the donor base is still there, the orange-out crowds will come back when the product does. The other room says 1-11 leaves a mark that takes longer to wash off than one offseason, and that Morris is asking for patience a fanbase that watched its program's identity collapse in real time isn't sure it has left to give.
The brand-of-football is currently under reconstruction. The Gundy-era Cowboys ran an up-tempo, high-scoring Big 12 attack — wide-open spread concepts, fast pace, a defensive identity built on athleticism and scheme — that produced consistent 8-win seasons at a program without blue-blood recruiting pull. Morris comes from a North Texas offense built on RPO-heavy spread principles and quarterback mobility. The question for 2026 is whether the portal class can execute a system fast enough to be competitive in a Big 12 that didn't slow down while Stillwater bottomed out.

Three gameday rituals — the ones outsiders never quite catch.
since 2005
Mike Gundy's tenure (2005-2024) defined the program more than any single season. The 'I'm a man, I'm 40' 2007 press conference; the mullet; the consistent 8-10 win seasons; the 2011 Fiesta Bowl run. Gundy IS Oklahoma State football for an entire generation of fans.

Oklahoma State-Oklahoma is one of the longest in-state rivalries in CFB (120+ years, 100+ meetings). The 2024 OU departure for the SEC threatens the annual game; the rivalry's future is the most-discussed Big 12 storyline. Cowboy fans treat Bedlam as the defining game of the year.
since 1958
Pistol Pete is the cartoon cowboy mascot — fully Western-themed, dual-six-shooter pose, oversized boots. Frank Eaton, the real-life cowboy inspiration, was photographed in 1923 and the program adopted his likeness. The most-distinctly-American mascot in CFB.
