Why OSU Football Must Take New Approach in Recruiting

Oklahoma State has the No. 40 football recruiting class on its way to campus for next season. That mark ranks fifth among Big 12 programs.

OSU’s rank in the recruiting world since its last Big 12 championship, in 2011, have steadily tailed off and plateaued. It’s nothing if not consistently average. Here’s a look at national/Big 12 ranks since 2011 for OSU in recruiting rankings:

2011: 25/4

2012: 31/6

2013: 31/5

2014: 27/4

2015: 40/7

2016: 45/7

2017: 38/4

2018: 34/5

2019: 38/5

Never once has OSU been higher than fourth in the Big 12.
