On Tuesday, Oklahoma State offensive linemen Dalton Cooper and Joe Michalski were named to the Outland Trophy Watch List. The Outland Trophy is awarded each year to the best interior lineman, on offense or defense, in college football.
Although the transfer portal has not been as brutal to Oklahoma State as last year, the departures are still inevitable. The latest one comes from Viliami Makahununiu, a redshirt freshman offensive lineman, according to McClain Baxley.
Oklahoma State’s leader along the offensive line will be back in 2024. The Cowboys got some good news on Tuesday as center Joe Michalski announced he will return for his sixth season at Oklahoma State.
