Jalen McCleskey Stands Out Among Deep Receiving Corps in Season-Opener

In a game where the Cowboys seemed to distribute the ball evenly, Jalen McCleskey was everywhere.

In Oklahoma State’s 58-17 beat down of Missouri State on Thursday night in Boone Pickens Stadium, McCleskey had seven receptions on a team-high 10 targets and scored three touchdowns.

McCleskey scored from the air and the ground, and if there would’ve been water on the field, there would’ve been an intriguing betting line to see if he could score by sea.

McCleskey, a senior from Covington, Louisiana, got his night started with a six-yard completion in the Cowboys’ second drive.
