Mike Gundy started off his holiday weekend with some unexpected fireworks by reeling in a Texas QB to play college cornerback, a la Ramon Richards.
Jelani McDonalds, a 2023 athlete, announced on Friday that he would be taking his talents to Stillwater.
Who is he?
The 6-foot-1, 180-pound rising senior has been electric playing quarterback for Connally High School in Waco, Texas. As a junior last season, he threw for nearly 900 yards and 10 touchdowns and rushed for nearly 600 yards. He is listed as an athlete but it looks like the Pokes are eyeing him at cornerback, despite him not being featured on Connally’s defense last season.
