Cornelius Keeps Head Down after Being Tabbed Starter: ‘Nobody is Locked in’

Mike Gundy has made it as clear as he can that Taylor Cornelius is his guy.

Throughout the summer, the talk surrounding Oklahoma State replacing record-setting quarterback Mason Rudolph has been about three guys: Cornelius, freshman Spencer Sanders and graduate transfer Dru Brown.

The early reports from the Cowboys’ coaches have all pointed to Cornelius, a fifth-year senior, starting behind center for OSU, but still, the talks continue. After Oklahoma State’s first day of fall camp, Cornelius said he knows he isn’t going to be able to coast into the season as a starter.

“You see that stuff out there, but you still gotta show every day and work,” Cornelius said.
