In four years in Stillwater, Dillon Stoner has never been the Cowboys’ No. 1 option. But now that his number has been called, he’s answered the bell.
When OSU lost the Big 12’s leading receiver and a former Biletnikoff finalist in Tylan Wallace, it left a gaping hole in the Cowboys’ offense and looming questions as to how that hole could be filled. The answer, it seems, should have been more obvious.
Since moving to the Z receiver role in place of Tylan, Stoner has been on fire. He followed up a 93-yard, two-score game against TCU with a career-high 150 yards and two more TDs in OSU’s blowout win over Kansas.
