‘He’s Big’: Gundy Says Caleb Etienne Will Be a ‘Tough Guy to Deal With’ for Opponents

ARLINGTON, Texas — A monstrous figure stepped into Sherman E. Smith Training Center, and it caught the eyes of the Cowboys’ coaches on the opposite side of the building.

Oklahoma State was hosting a minicamp for prospective student-athletes when a mountain of a man walked in.

Defensive line coach Joe Bob Clements turned to Mike Gundy.

“We need to get that coach signed up to play,” Clements said.

“That’s Etienne,” Gundy replied. “He plays for us.”

Gundy said Clements threw his head back and mouthed “Thank you” to the heavens.

Caleb Etienne joined the Cowboys this summer as a redshirt sophomore junior college transfer.
