Notebook: Oliver on Playing Linebacker, Rawls’ Time and Taking the Run Game Personally

STILLWATER — After about a three-month break, Cowboy football is back.

Oklahoma State started its spring practice schedule on Tuesday. OSU players met with the media afterward. Here are three things that stood out.

Collin Oliver, the Linebacker

With the Cowboys’ transitioning to a base three-man defensive front with new defensive coordinator Bryan Nardo, star pass-rusher Collin Oliver’s role will be a little different in 2023.

As a defensive end, Oliver had 15.5 sacks in his first two seasons of college football and was named a Freshman All-American in 2021. But now, the former Edmond Santa Fe standout is listed as a linebacker on the Cowboys’ roster.
