Oklahoma State Hires Skyler Cassity as Defensive Coordinator

Oklahoma State officially announced the hiring of Skyler Cassity as its DC. CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reported the news earlier this week. Based off an old Sam Houston bio, it looks like Cassity will be 32 years old entering next season.

Morris and UNT had just hired Cassity ahead of the 2025 season away from Sam Houston.
