Mike Gundy is in an enviable position as far as college head football coaches go.
Of the less than two-thirds of Power Five CEOs that actually have a fall season planned, few of them have a more exciting returning cast of stars, and even fewer can boast the type of upside on both sides of the ball that Gundy can in his 16th year.
The headliners are obvious. Former All-Americans Chuba Hubbard and Tylan Wallace return as a RB-WR duo you could stack up against any in college football. There’s also reason to be excited about OSU’s defense with budding stars like Kolby Harvell-Peel and Trace Ford a year older and better, as well as a number of other intriguing pieces returning with experience.
