With spring football on the horizon, Oklahoma State has clear objectives ahead as it looks to build off an impressive season that ended in a Big 12 title game appearance and a bowl win over Notre Dame. But no task may be as important as figuring out how the running back position will retool.
The Cowboys are losing leading rusher Jaylen Warren as well as long-time vets LD Brown and Dezmon Jackson which will put the pressure on the young, new wave of talent at the position to step up. That journey will start with spring ball, and with four-star Ollie Gordon arriving on campus last week, clarity about what the RB spot may look like in 2022 could come sooner than expected.
