On Sunday night, Oklahoma State lost the commitment of four-star offensive line recruit Kelvin Banks Jr., the 2022 standout prospect from Texas who had been committed to the Cowboys since last fall.
His decommitment sliced OSU’s 2022 commitment class in half from two to one, with only De’Kelvion Beamon still left. But there are reasons to buy optimism in 2022 despite the backward step Sunday. Here are three main reasons why.
1. Quarterback could be special
By the looks of it, OSU won’t be taking a quarterback recruit in the 2021 class. Instead, it will welcome walk-on Gunnar Gundy as its de-facto recruit at the position and look ahead with a focus to 2022.
