Fall Scrimmage Reports

Eric Morris talks armadillos, starting offensive linemen and scrimmage review
- Oklahoma State's offensive line is close to set after the scrimmage: Jacob Sexton is at left tackle, Tyler Mercer at center and Johnny Dickson III at right guard, while Shaun Torgeson and Ashton Lepo are battling at right tackle.
- North Texas transfer Braydon Nelson remains a few weeks from returning from injury; once healthy, the experienced lineman will enter Oklahoma State's guard-or-tackle rotation.
- Eric Morris said Oklahoma State's first units executed well on both sides, with the offense better overall before the defense finished the scrimmage strongly.
- Quarterback Drew Mestemaker drew a specifically positive scrimmage review from Morris, who said he was really good.
- Oklahoma State will use the next week to set a preliminary special-teams depth chart, with the final travel-roster spots likely going to players who can contribute across all four special-teams phases.

How ‘meathead’ Carson Kolb rose up the Oklahoma State tight end depth chart
- Oregon State transfer Carson Kolb and Morgan McPhaul are listed as Oklahoma State's possible starting tight ends against Tulsa after injuries limited veterans Oscar Hammond and Donovan Green.
- Kolb led Oklahoma State's tight ends in spring catches and continued climbing through summer and fall camp, turning an expected special-teams role into a possible offensive start.
- Eric Morris praised Kolb's processing speed, positional versatility, blocking and toughness, while identifying contested catches and ball skills as his remaining developmental priorities.
- Kolb is expected to start across Oklahoma State's special-teams units even if Hammond or Green returns and reduces his tight-end workload.

Scott’s thoughts: Breaking down the Oklahoma State depth chart
- Miles Coleman and 1,200-yard receiver Wyatt Young share an OR designation in Oklahoma State's slot, partly because the offense often uses two slots, although Young's recurring spring and fall-camp drops remain a concern.
- Johnny Dickson III and North Texas transfer Desmond Magiya remain in the left-guard competition, and Eric Morris expects to use six or seven offensive linemen at Tulsa with Shaun Torgeson and Ashton Lepo both likely to rotate at right tackle.
- Injuries to Oscar Hammond and Donovan Green opened Oklahoma State's tight-end competition for Carson Kolb and Morgan McPhaul, whose contrasting skill sets make the starter designation likely to change with personnel grouping.
- Freshman Brodie Vehrs has gained momentum over Grant Jordan in Oklahoma State's unresolved quarterback competition.
- Oklahoma State listed 32 defenders across 12 positions, including 14 defensive linemen, reflecting Skyler Cassity's plan to vary fronts and rotate heavily in the Tulsa heat.

Post-practice bullets: Eric Morris discusses starting right tackle, Aussie punting styles
- Portland State transfer Shaun Torgeson has moved ahead of Ashton Lepo and would probably start at right tackle if Oklahoma State played immediately, according to coach Eric Morris.
- The 6-foot-4, 302-pound Torgeson emerged as a camp surprise because of his strength, athleticism and fast mental processing after arriving as a late portal addition.
- Oklahoma State is using a mock situational game to rehearse substitutions and sideline operations while practicing outdoors to prepare for Tulsa's expected heat advantage.
- Morris gives quarterback Drew Mestemaker significant freedom to check plays at the line, with coordinator Sean Brophy staying on the field and assistant Kevin Kilmer expected in the booth.
- Sophomore punter Lachie Pozzobon produced what Morris called an exceptional camp and gives Oklahoma State multiple options through both spiral and drop-punt styles.
