OSU lineman Galloway `done with football'
STILLWATER — Oklahoma State tackle Dylan Galloway is calling it a career.
Galloway has elected to retire from football and leave the university after recently earning his degree, according to SI Pokes Report.
“I'm done with football,” Galloway told Pokes Report in a text message Wednesday. “I was getting hurt so much and I felt like all of my injuries were piling up to where they were effecting me too much on and off the field.”
Galloway started nine games at left tackle last season, but missed three with a right leg injury that he suffered at Texas. He returned from the bench at Iowa State when Bryce Bray suffered an injury.
Galloway also had multiple shoulder injuries the previous two years, limiting him in spring practices.
At 6 feet 7 and 295 pounds, Galloway was expected to be a key part of the Cowboys' offensive line as one of three returning starters. Only Teven Jenkins — who could move from right tackle to left tackle — and Bryce Bray return.
But the Cowboys have other options.
Transfer Josh Sills is expected to start at left guard and Ry Schneider is expected to start at center, a position he filled in at times last season.
Jacob Farrell, Hunter Anthony, Cole Birmingham or
Eli Russ could be options at an open tackle position. But none have the experience of Galloway.
OSU men's basketball officially add Williams, Kouma
A week ago, Oklahoma State coach Mike Boynton said NCAA sanctions would not change how he recruited for the upcoming season.
He wasn't lying.
The Cowboys officially added two players Thursday to round out the roster for the upcoming season, signing Ole Miss transfer guard Bryce Williams and junior college center Bernard Kouma.
OSU enters the season with a top- five ranked recruiting class, led by No. 1-ranked recruit Cade Cunningham. Players reported to campus last weekend to begin testing for COVID-19 ahead of workouts.
Williams is a 6-foot-2, 180-pound senior guard who shot 44% from 3-point range in 29 games
for Ole Miss last season. He previously played at Daytona State, where he averaged 14.9 points per game playing for current OSU assistant Erik Pastrana.
As a sophomore at Daytona, Williams averaged 14.5 points and 4.4 assists, shooting 45.9%.
At Ole Miss, he played 13.3 minutes per game and averaged 3.1 points. At the NIT Tip-Off, he scored a season-best 15 points and made the game-winning free shots in a 21-point comeback against Penn State.
Kouma — pronounced KOO-muh — is the latest
addition to the class, committing late Monday night to fill in for departing center Yor Anei.
A native of N'Djamena in Chad, Africa, Kouma played one season at South Plains ( Texas) College and averaged 4.1 points. He posted three double-digit scoring games, including a 19- point, 10- rebound night against Lamar State- Port Arthur. He also had 10 double-digit rebound games.
The 6- foot- 10, 240pound center played high school basketball at Christ Our Savior Lutheran High in Bronx, New York.
