Rarely, if ever, do you see Oklahoma State extend a scholarship offer to a freshman. It’s been done before — but in football specifically, the prospect has to be as close to can’t-miss as possible.
So for Oklahoma State to extend an offer to rising freshman inside linebacker Kendrick Blackshire this weekend, it should say just about everything you need to know about the coaching staff’s views on one of the top talents in Texas.
Blackshire’s got can’t-miss written all over him. Forget the fact that he’s a Class of 2021 recruit, OSU’s not waiting to pull the trigger with an official pursuit for the 6-2, 230-pounder from Mesquite Horn, Texas.
