X CFN, Fiu | CFN Facebook | Bluesky Fiu, CFNOklahoma State 2025 PreviewOklahoma State Offense Breakdown Season Prediction, Win Total, Keys to Season - The defense played like it had nine guys on the field. Only Kent State was worse than a Cowboy D that allowed 501 yards per game. The pass rush wasn't bad, but the pass defense was awful, the run defense worse, and here comes the transfer portal to change everything. - Again, the defense was able to get into the backfield. But here comes the improvement with Kyran Duhon (UTEP) coming in to take over on one side. DeSean Brown looks the part, but he needs to get behind the line tackles are getting a boost with the addition of De'Marion Thomas from Vanderbilt. He's a 333-pounder who needs to be a rock against the run from the start, and Michael Diatta (Virginia) will be a quicker option. Veteran Iman Oates is a 315-pounder with enough experience to be a plus. - The portal is helping out the linebacking corps, too, with Malik Charles a dangerous pass rusher from West Georgia who can do a little of everything. He and Jaleel Johnson will be true hybrids on the Bryan McCoy made 204 tackles and eight tackles for loss over the last two years. Now he'll be a key option on the inside along with Trip White (Ole Miss), a veteran coming in looking to jumpstart his career. - Cam Smith is a veteran at one corner, Dylan Smith, David Kabongo, and Parker Robertson will once again be among the team's leading tacklers at safety, and the portal will take care of the rest. Mordecai McDaniel (Charlotte) will push for one safety gig, and Jeremy Cook (Louisiana) was brought in to be a key Prediction, Win Total, Keys to Season Oklahoma State 2025 PreviewOklahoma State Offense Breakdown © 2025 The Arena Group Holdings, Inc.

X CFN, Fiu | CFN Facebook | Bluesky Fiu, CFNOklahoma State 2025 PreviewOklahoma State Offense BreakdownOklahoma State Defense Breakdown Oklahoma State Cowboys Key to the Season Do SOMETHING against the Cowboy run defense hasn't been solid for years, but last season was something different. Teams shredded the front seven, allowing 300 yards or more three times and three touchdowns or more seven times. Changes were made to boost up the size and depth, but the real help will be if the D gets help from the O, so … Oklahoma State Cowboys Key Player Zane Flores, QB Hauss Hejny.
