Mike Gundy Is Excited about Israel Antwine; Why You Should Be Too

What was a welcomed confirmation could prove to be huge news for Oklahoma State’s defense this fall.

It was announced Wednesday that former Colorado D-lineman Israel Antwine was granted a hardship waiver by the NCAA and would, in fact, be eligible to see the field for OSU this fall.

“It’s awesome,” Gundy said after practice on Wednesday, hours after the news became public.

According to Gundy, it was the outcome he expected, but that you never really know until it’s official.

“We’ve been practicing him like we thought it would be [ruled in his favor],” said Gundy.
