College football: OU, OSU coaches learning new methods for virtual recruiting

Todd Bradford is always busy, but like so many people, the Oklahoma State director of football recruiting has seen his work evolve in the past two months.

The coronavirus pandemic shut down nearly every aspect of the college football world.

But not recruiting.

In early March, Bradford was busy coordinating with coach Mike Gundy and the rest of the Cowboy staff to prepare for on-campus visits from prospects throughout the coming months in the most important time of recruiting for the 2021 class.

But COVID-19 turned recruiting into an online game. Virtual visits. FaceTime and Zoom calls.
