Senior safety Jordan Sterns gets tackles. He’s done so since he moved to Stillwater four years ago. Since playing 12 games as a true freshman, Sterns has led the Cowboys in tackles the last three straight years.
As a sophomore he led the team with 103 tackles. Then, last year, as a junior he led with 108. Entering Bedlam, Sterns ranked as Pro Football Focus‘ sixth-ranked safety in the nation.
Sterns started Saturday with 77 total tackles making it unlikely that he would make triple digits for the third straight year.
But Sterns’ 19 tackles today (including this extremely violent yet completely legal destruction of Dede Westbrook) ties for the most ever by a Cowboy.
