The Cowboys’ leading receiver and starting guard are listed as questionable for Saturday’s game against UCF.

The initial player availability report for Oklahoma State’s game against UCF released on Wednesday night, revealing that Wyatt Young and Johnny Dickson III are questionable. Defensive tackle Landon Dean will miss the game, while offensive tackle Braydon Nelson is listed as probable to make his OSU debut.

Here’s the report in full:

Young leads the Cowboys in receptions (22) and receiving yards (410) after his big game against West Virginia. In Morgantown, Young caught eight balls for 192 yards and a touchdown. That came two weeks after Young caught five balls for 121 yards and a score against Oregon.

Dickson has played 297 snaps on the Cowboys’ offensive line through four games, per PFF, with 192 of those snaps coming at left guard and 105 coming at right guard. His snap total leads all OSU offensive players.

Nelson appeared on the depth chart this week, with OSU coach Eric Morris saying he expects the North Texas transfer to rotate in. He played 1,836 snaps across the past two seasons with the Mean Green, with most of those coming at left tackle.

Dean is a redshirt senior who has spent his entire career in Stillwater. He has regularly rotated in on the defensive front this season, playing 173 snaps.

It’s less than ideal for the Cowboys that Young and Dickson are questionable and Dean is out, but the injury report is much beefier on UCF’s side.

The Knights’ will be without starting quarterback Alonza Barnett III again. They’ll also be without starting center Jacob Maiava and staring linebacker Lewis Carter.

STILLWATER — Defensive lineman Jerry Lawson doesn’t look it now, but the 6-foot-1, 312-pound senior rushed for 1,637 yards and scored 29 touchdowns in high school.

​“Majority of time, I remind (OSU running backs) coach (Patrick) Cobbs, ‘I’m ready to get that rock whenever you need to punch it in at the goal line, I got you,’” Lawson said.

​Not sure Cobbs will take him up on that offer anytime soon, but for the longest time Lawson believed his future was to play running back in college, then the coaches at Abilene Christian set him straight.

​“They told me, ‘stop sending us your running back film, send that D-line film,’” Lawson said.

Lawson doesn’t end up a Cowboy without Abilene Christian. That’s where he met Skyler Cassity, who was in his second year ever as a defensive coordinator.

“He was the one that believed in me. … He was like, ‘we know you can play, and you’re going to have to start and all that and have to man up and put your big boy pants on and get it rolling,’” Lawson said.

The then-freshman defender really needed to hear his coaches voice that belief in him because Lawson lacked it himself.

“At that time I didn’t really have that much confidence, for one,” Lawson said. “I was young and still learning how college football works and all that.”

Lawson started for the first time in week three, and he finished the season with seven starts and recorded 41 tackles, including 5.5 for loss. A more confident Lawson showed up the next season and finished with 65 tackles, including 14 for loss and 5.5 sacks.

With that success under his belt, he decided to test the transfer portal out, but even Lawson didn’t know if that decision would result in a Power Conference or even an FBS offer.

“I had no idea,” Lawson said. “I was low-key stressed. I would wake up sometimes, I had an 8 a.m. I would be missing the 8 a.m. because of making phone calls to all these different coaches and all that, so it was really stressful in that moment, but when I got at Louisville it felt pretty good.”

At Louisville, Lawson’s role shrunk smaller than ever in college, and his only start came in the bowl game. With that in mind, it makes sense he would want to reunite with Cassity for the first time since his freshman season.

“It was pretty important,” Lawson said of Cassity’s involvement getting him to Stillwater. “Because I kind of still remember some of the plays that we used to run at ACU, and he still has some of the plays that are the same name, and I was like, ‘Oh, I already knew that and all that.’ Just going out there doing what I gotta do, and just having that connection and chemistry with him. I just know how he’s gonna coach. He knows how I’m gonna play.”

Playing is something Lawson has done quite a bit of this season. Although the Cowboys rotate a lot of guys up front, he has played at least 50% of snaps against all three FBS opponents this season. No other OSU defensive tackle has played more than 40% in more than one such game this fall.

“Jerry’s a little bit undersized, but just the attitude, the grit that he plays with,” Morris said. “He’s been phenomenal. And really a guy that’s been good against the run and against the pass somebody that we’ve been able to count on.

“He’s definitely a guy that’s earned the starts that he’s had around here. … Just a joy to be around every single day. I mean, he does it the right way. Comes out and practices his tail off, so happy for Jerry.”

Lawson was a no-star prospect coming out of high school. The past few years raised his profile quite a bit as he was a three-star transfer ranked 41st and 42nd at his position this offseason according to Rivals and 247Sports.

Yet, in many ways, he arrived at Stillwater as one of many newcomers hoping to prove they could deliver against Big 12 competition. Lawson has eight tackles this season, including a 0.5 sack against West Virginia.

He is tied for fourth in total pressures, with three of those coming against Oregon and West Virginia, and tied for sixth in “stops” which basically is any tackle that puts the offense in a bad spot.

“After week one, a lot of people doubted us when we were going into playing Oregon, and we were like, ‘Well, we gotta prove these people wrong,’” Lawson said. “And I like being doubted because I’ve been doubted my whole life, and I know what it takes to like surpass people and all that.”

STILLWATER — Eric Morris has been rather front-facing to promote his new program.

Over the past few weeks, he’s done a handful of podcasts and various other interviews as his Oklahoma State squad has rattled off three straight wins.

Earlier this week he went on the Brandon Walker College Football Show. There, he talked everything from his ongoing war with local armadillos to how big the win against Oregon was for his program. But perhaps the most notable thing he mentioned came when Walker asked Morris what success in Year 1 looks like.

“At our best, I think we’re gonna be a problem for anybody on our schedule,” Morris said. “If we can stay committed to the process and take this thing one week at a time, I think we can win the rest of them on our schedule.

“On the flip side of that, at our worst this year, it was pretty bad. So, yeah, I like way our schedule sets up. Obviously, I like our bye week being this week. We were a little bit banged up, but I definitely think there’s a chance we can run this thing if we can stay committed to the process and play our brand of football.”

That’s a nice level of confidence while still having data to point to if the Cowboys aren’t on their Ps and Qs.

The “worst” Morris mentioned there is the Cowboys’ Week 1 loss in Tulsa, a game the Cowboys mustered just 10 points and 368 yards of total offense. In the three games since, OSU has averaged 46.3 points and 608.3 yards of total offense.

Walker then asked if there is some benefit to having the Week 1 film to show his team how poorly they can play. Morris again noted he watches the Tulsa film once a week as a self reminder.

“In hindsight, I am thankful that it did happen Game 1, and we were able to have a hard reset and come out and be able to change the narrative,” Morris said. “A lot better Week 1 than later on in the season. So yeah, I think our guys have locked into the thought of the practice and the preparation getting us to be able to perform on Saturdays.

“So, as long as we continue to get a week better, this team is still, there are a lot of new bodies on this team. A lot of new faces, so we are growing week by week right now. Same thing with our quarterback. He hasn’t played just a ton of football still in his career, which I still have to remind myself of. If we can continue to do that and not turn the ball over, I like our chances.”

Another Funny Quote

Walker, a Mississippi State fan, asked Morris if his practices were similar to that of Mike Leach, who coached in Starkville and coached Morris.

Morris noted his practices are intense, but shared this funny anecdote on wearing the whistle and a headset.

“A lot of people hate that I call the plays and I still blow the whistle after every play,” Morris said. “One thing that stinks for my assistant coaches is the microphone, I still talk in the microphone, so they have to hear the whistle in their ears. So, they don’t really appreciate the fact that I blow the whistle and have all the communication.”

Hearing a whistle blare next to you can be loud enough. Now imagine wearing a pair of headphones while a guy blows into a whistle into his mic.

STILLWATER — For the most part, Oklahoma State’s offense has torched opposing defenses this season.

The Cowboys boast the nation’s No. 2 offense (averaging 548 yards per game), No. 7 passing offense (327 yards per game) and the No. 23 rushing offense (221 yards per game).

That success moving the ball nearly at will has OSU tied for the nation’s No. 30 scoring offense (37.3 points per game), which is actually impressive given that the Cowboys’ worst offensive stats include a 32% success rate on third down (ranked 121st nationally) and a red zone success rate of 83% (tied for 90th).

Both struggles have made Oklahoma State kicker Sam Keltner quite busy through four games as he has converted all 10 of his field-goal attempts this season, nine of which came after OSU entered the red zone.

“I think it’s probably the most frustrating thing for me as a play caller right now is kicking the field goals,” coach Eric Morris said. “And us not being super efficient inside the score zone, which we call the 12 to the five-yard line. We haven’t been good this year.”

Morris’ team last season finished the year ranked 18th nationally with a 91% success rate in the red zone. All that success looks even better considering UNT led the nation with 72 red zone scores overall and 62 of those (86%) were touchdowns.

Of the only 18 teams with a higher red zone success rate, only Utah scored touchdowns at a higher percentage, edging Morris out by just over 1%. However, the Utes scored only 47 red zone TDs in total.

That’s probably what makes OSU’s difficulties through four games especially tough for Morris to swallow.

This season, the Cowboys entered the red zone 24 times. Nine times, OSU settled for a field goal and 11 times Oklahoma State found the end zone. That means only 55% of OSU’s red zone scores are touchdowns.

“Defense has been playing good though, and we’ve kind of shifted our philosophy to be able to take some points at times,” Morris said of the kicking game. “And I just think that’s the best thing for our team right now. But there’s nothing more frustrating. You know, we’ve done a bunch of self-scouting over the course of the last, you know, week and a half.”

At West Virginia, OSU entered the red zone five times, and OSU again struggled in what Morris calls the “score zone.”

OSU’s red zone attempts vs West Virginia:

Red Zone start	Red Zone finish	Score?
12-yard line	12-yard line	Kick
4-yard line	1-yard line	Kick
4-yard line	4-yard TD	Touchdown
10-yard line	11-yard line	Kick
15-yard line	1-yard TD	Touchdown

When asked about personnel groupings in the red zone, Morris mostly dismissed the question, stating so much is dependent on what the opponent does in that part of the field. He briefly touched on running back Caleb Hawkins’ success last season and seemed to suggest he would try to lean on that more.

“You know we were able to use some three tight end stuff last year,” Morris said. “Haven’t used a ton of it this year, and so you know it’s a game-by-game, week-by-week thing. We’re game planning.”

Less use on multi-tight end sets is likely the result of preseason injuries, which seemed to slow Donovan Green’s involvement (28 snaps so far, third among OSU TEs) and Oscar Hammond, who technically made his Cowboy debut at WVU when he took the field for three kneel-downs.

Tight end Carson Kolb has dominated OSU’s snap count at the position, playing 236 snaps while No. 2 tight end Morgan McPhaul has played 47.

This will be somewhat old, or at least repackaged, news to PFB subscribers who read the Final Draw breakdown of the WVU game, but OSU has run 43 plays inside the red zone against FBS opponents this season.

On these, Drew Mestemaker is 10-of-21 for 51 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions.

One of the 23 running plays was Mestemaker’s improvised touchdown run against Oregon. Other non-Hawkins skill players rushed five times and averaged 1.4 yards. That leaves 16 carries for Hawkins, who averages 3.5 yards per carry and has found the end zone only once inside the red zone.

That’s a big change from last season, when Hawkins scored 22 times inside the red zone, with 12 of those coming inside Morris’ “score zone.”

“And really third downs too, like we haven’t been good offensively on third downs or sticking it (in) the end zone you know once we do get into the red zone. … I think you know it’s going to allow us to set ourselves apart if we can get better in those two areas,” Morris said. “And so they’re being addressed right now.”

The Cowboys are back home this weekend to host a UCF team that’s dealt with some early quarterback issues.

Oklahoma State’s Drew Mestemaker will square off against UCF’s Keyone Jenkins, a former FIU transfer that started the year as the Knights’ backup before QB1 Alonzo Barnett II went down with injury.

Jenkins has started the last three games, going 2-1. He also went down briefly with an injury in the loss to Houston last week but did return and is expected to start.

Let’s take a look at how Mestemaker and Jenkins stack up by the numbers before digging into the matchup.

QB2B	Mestemaker	Jenkins
Att.	141	76
Comp.	95	53
Pct.	67.4%	69.7%
Yds	1271	541
Yds/Att	9.0	7.1
TD	11	4
INT	5	2
Rating	161.75	141.64
QBR	75.0 (33rd)	59.8 (60th)
Rushing TDs	1	3

Jenkins spent three years as the starter at Florida International. In 33 games leading the Panthers’ offense, he threw for 6,713 yards and 42 touchdowns to 25 interceptions while completing 61% of his passes. He’s also effective when he keeps it, having run for 13 TDs over his time at FIU.

Since Barnett went down in Week 2, Scott Frost and Co. have put more and more on Jenkins’ plate when it comes to running the offense. In his first start in against Georgia State, he had 41 running snaps to just 18 passing. A week later in the win over TCU, the split was down to 33 runs to 24 passes and then last week he finally was given the reins to open it up. He had 42 passing plays to just 18 run plays.

Jenkins led the Knights to a 17-0 lead over the ranked Cougars on the road last Saturday. He actually had the Knights in position late to make a bid for the upset last week in Houston. UCF held a 10-point lead late in the third quarter when a pass of his was tipped and intercepted. He got injured attempting the tackle and had to leave the game. The resulting return set up Houston on the 2-yard line for an eventual touchdown.

UCF went to third-string QB sophomore Kaleb Annett who threw the first three pass attempts of his career. Jenkins would return in the fourth quarter but apparently didn’t look 100%. He finished completing just three of his last eight attempts.

Jenkins is not the type of quarterback that is necessarily going to stretch your defense. According to Pro Football Focus, 9.2% of Jenkins’ throws are considered deep, but he’s only completed one of them this season (1-for-7). For comparison’s sake, 12% of Mestemaker’s throws have been deep (20-plus) yards, but he’s completed 71% of those (12-for-17).

But Jenkins did account for some chunk plays against Houston as they let him open it up a bit. He had four passing plays of at least 20 yards after just two over 20 yards his first two starts.

The Knights have also depended on Jenkins to use his wheels. He’s averaging nearly seven rush attempts per game since he took the reins, and he’s scored three TDs on the ground.

The Knights’ defense has been stingy against Power Four teams. They held Houston scoreless in the first half and to just 27 all game. Strange enough, they gave up 30 points to Georgia State. But the point is that Jenkins hasn’t been asked to put up big numbers to compete. If the Cowboys break loose for a couple big plays early, how will he handle going from more of a game manager to a playmaker?

Jenkins is an efficient passer with the ability to beat you with his legs if you get greedy. The key for the Cowboys will be their ability to bring pressure without blitzing and to play disciplined on the edge. If OSU can make things tough on Jenkins and do what they do best on third downs, it will go a long way towards a Cowboy win.

STILLWATER — OSU Hockey’s Chairman of the Board said Bedlam on Ice is going to cost somewhere between $1.5 million and $2 million, but the revenue the landmark event creates is going to a charity and to the Cowboy football team.

“I’ll be promoting the hell out of that thing,” said OSU coach Eric Morris as he took the stage after the hockey news conference. “Kudos to you, appreciate you.”

Michael Mann, OSU Hockey’s Chairman, spoke before Morris’ regular media availability on Tuesday to provide some details on the Bedlam hockey game that will be played on Jan. 30 in Boone Pickens Stadium.

At the end of his news conference, Mann announced where the revenue would go.

“It came to me that our president Colleen Harvey and a couple of the people on the staff realized what’s going on with athletics, how it’s growing and the momentum around the football team and all that,” Mann said. “We realized that we had this thing paid for through donors, and there’s two missions on campus that we’re really excited to get involved in. One is Dr. (Jim) Hess and his wife have a mental health awareness mission, so part of our revenue for that game will go to them. And then the majority of the revenue is gonna be donated back to Coach Morris and his staff for his operations and him building a great organization moving forward.”

If an ice rink in the middle of Boone Pickens Stadium isn’t exciting enough, Mann said there will be musical performances and none of it will cost OSU a penny.

“We’re going to announce five Grammy Award-winning acts that are gonna be concert style at intermissions, pregame, postgame sort of thing, as well,” Mann said. “… Additionally to add to that, the university is putting no money towards this, not that they didn’t want to. Obviously, funding for anything today in the university world is difficult, so our student committee has actually worked with sponsors, corporate, donors, great supporters of the program, and they helped put all the money together. So, it’s all been done by the group.”

There’s no denying OSU Hockey is on the rise.

It’s a club team, but it’s well funded. Mann noted that their budget is multimillion dollars.

The Cowboys play in the American Collegiate Hockey Association, making the ACHA Division 2 national final last school year. OSU is off to a 6-1 start this season, beating the OU team it’ll play in Boone Pickens Stadium 11-3 to start the year.

The program has eyes on joining the NCAA Division-I ranks, but Mann said for now, the Cowboys are focused on pulling off this event and bringing more awareness of the sport to the university.

“We have a lot of goals,” Mann said. “As a team or any organization or any university growing something, you want to get to a pinnacle point, but as of today we are really, really focused on developing this outdoor game, having this be a success, going out and winning a national championship in the division that we play in, bringing more awareness to the university on the sport, getting people hooked. I think one thing about this sport, people get hooked very quickly if you look at the stats of fandom around the country. And obviously where that takes us, we’ll discuss that down the road.”

STILLWATER — At this point, Eric Morris has about a decade worth of data proving he is an elite FBS play-caller, so now imagine going up to the line and changing one of the plays he called.

Drew Mestemaker has found himself in that position of late, with Morris granting his quarterback more freedom within the Cowboys’ offense.

It’s worked in more than a few instances, with Morris noting Mestemaker threw a pair of touchdowns on plays he changed at the line against Murray State, and Mestemaker himself noting that coming out of the half against West Virginia, he made a check at the line to throw to Chris Barnes for a 52-yard gain.

Mestemaker said at North Texas last year, he was awarded the freedom to make checks, but he was a little uneasy about it at first, saying he’d often just check one route and hoped it worked.

“I feel like this offseason, he’s really just let me go up to the line and give me free reign, honestly, of what I want to do,” Mestemaker said last week. “At first, there was the kind of stress of, ‘Alright, if I check this, I need to make it work because I’m going away from his play.’ But at this point, I feel like me and Coach Morris have the relationship where if it doesn’t work, I can go to the sideline and say, ‘Coach, I’m sorry. I thought it was gonna work.’ And he’ll be like, ‘Alright, it’s all good.'”

Morris has been an FBS offensive coordinator or play-calling head coach for nine seasons before this year. Of those nine seasons, his offenses have finished in the Top 10 in total offense on seven occasions. On four instances, he’s had a Top 5 offense, and he had the nation’s best offense in two seasons (2025 at UNT and 2016 at Texas Tech).

That’s why there might be some hesitation in changing his plays because most of the time, they work. But Morris has often noted how bright his current quarterback is and how quickly he can process information.

Morris pointed to Mestemaker’s outing in Morgantown as an example of why he trusts his quarterback so much.

West Virginia showed a three-high safety look it hadn’t employed much to that point, but Mestemaker stayed patient and let running back Caleb Hawkins feast until those safeties started to roll down.

Then in the second half — starting with that check to Barnes — Mestemaker threw for 274 of his 389 yards, as the Cowboys ran away from the Mountaineers.

“I think over time, you build the trust in people to be able to go out there and execute,” Morris said Tuesday. “I think he has the best vision to see what’s going on in front of him, right? And I think, at this point in his career, he’s seen all the different disguises. …

“I think that just showed another step in his maturity, the patience that he had during the course of that game. He’s somebody that’s earned that trust over the course of time.”

But with a play-caller as heralded as Morris, Mestemaker knows that if he makes a change, he better at least have a reason for it.

“Today in practice, we had some play call against our defense, and I changed it and it worked, and he was like, ‘Why’d you change it?'” Mestemaker recalled. “And I was like, ‘Well, they were in man. It’s not the man that I thought they were gonna run, but it worked anyways.’ And he was like, ‘Yeah, it’s good with me.’

“I think as long as I communicate what I saw, and I’m not just checking it for no reason, he’s good with it.”

STILLWATER — It’s not very often a college coach gets to add a free agent midstream, but that happened when the Cowboys picked up Braylin Presley within the past week.

Presley received a court order granting him an extra year of eligibility as part of the 2022 recruiting class.

Oklahoma State coach Eric Morris was asked about Presley on Tuesday. The Cowboys’ coach noted he isn’t a fan of all the moving parts of a roster in the modern era, but as many who wear orange are, he’s a fan of the Presley family.

“He’s a guy that obviously I think really comfortable with his family,” Morris said. “Not for sure, still working through all the eligibility pieces what that looks like on if he’s going to be ready to go when that is. But a guy that’s been here, has been at Tulsa … just a great family and a great kid that we knew what we were getting, right?”

Based on that quote, it doesn’t seem totally clear that Presley is out of the eligibility woods quite yet. He has, though, been added to OSU’s official roster as a 5-foot-6, 170-pound wide receiver who will wear No. 83.

It’s been a rollercoaster for that 2022 recruiting class as to whether they’d be eligible or not — so much so that it’s dragged into the season.

Take quarterback Thomas Castellanos, for example. Shortly before the season started, Castellanos was ruled eligible and joined Texas Tech. Then last week, after he’d already taken part in four games with the Red Raiders, Castellanos was ruled ineligible after another court ruling.

What that means for Presley at OSU could be anyone’s guess at this point.

After starting his career at OSU as a freshman in 2022, Presley transferred to Tulsa, playing in 35 games across three seasons. In his time with the Golden Hurricane, Presley had 336 receiving yards, 215 rushing yards and scored three touchdowns.

Presley was a dynamo of Bixby High School before his college career. He was a four-star recruit in his recruiting class and was a walking highlight reel in all of the Spartans’ games.

With all that said, it’s not going to be easy for Presley to enter halfway through a season and start producing for a team that’s already played four games.

“So we’ll see kind of when we can fit him in, where we can fit him in,” Morris said. “Obviously, extremely hard, and really unfair to the kid, right in the middle of the season bringing him in. You’re throwing him in trying to learn all this new verbiage when everybody’s been doing it for 10 or 11 months now. But was comfortable mainly because of how high of character his family is.”

He joins his younger brother Braeden Presley on OSU’s roster. Braeden is a true freshman safety. Then their older brother Brennan Presley played at OSU from 2020 through 2024. Brennan is the Cowboys’ all-time leader in receptions with 315 and finished his college career with 3,315 receiving yards.
