OSU football picks up four commitments
On a day that just kept getting better for Oklahoma State, the offensive line got a little love Wednesday evening.
Jen ks' Logan Nobles, a 6-foot-6, 267-pound tackle prospect, committed to the Cowboys, becoming the fourth such pledge the Pokes received
Wednesday.
It began with twin brothers Blaine and Bryson Green, receivers from Allen, Texas, and continued a couple hours later with Aubrey, Texas, defensive back Cam Smith.
Then came Nobles, OSU's fifth Oklahoma high school prospect to pick the Pokes. He's also the first offensive lineman in OSU's 2021 recruiting class. Nobles was rated No. 19 in The Oklahoman's initial Super 30 rankings released last month.
The Cowboys now have 11 players committed in the 2021 class, with six on defense and five on offense.
NCAA BASEBALL: College baseball programs were granted some roster relief from the NCAA on Wednesday.
According to D1Baseball.com, the NCAA Division I Committee for Legislative Relief voted to expand rosters and scholarship limits for the 2020-21 academic year.
There will be no limit on roster size, instead of the usual 35-player cap. And the scholarship counter — the number of players on scholarship — has increased from a maximum of 27 to 32.
NCAA FOOTBALL: After the pandemic wiped out spring practice for most major college football teams, an NCAA plan to extend the preseason by two weeks could help coaches and players make up for the lost time.
The NCAA's football oversight committee expects to finalize a plan on Thursday to allow teams to conduct up to 12 unpadded, slow-speed practices, also know as walk-throughs, during the 14 days before the typical preseason begins in August.
Teams will be permitted up to 20 hours per week of what the NCAA calls countable athletically related activities during those extra two weeks, leading into a normal 29-day preseason practice schedule. The walk-throughs will be part of those 20 hours per week, along with weight training, conditioning, film study and meetings. Players will not be permitted to wear pads or helmets during walk-throughs, which cannot exceed one hour per day.
