- 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.

- Eric Morris called Oklahoma State's Tuesday practice strong and took the team outside in the heat to prepare for a 2:45 p.m. road opener against a Tulsa roster that, like the Cowboys, contains many new players. - North Texas transfers Wyatt Young and Miles Coleman share the starting slot-receiver designation and will rotate heavily because Oklahoma State wants to sustain tempo in the afternoon heat. - Former walk-on Carson Kolb tops Oklahoma State's tight-end depth chart ahead of Morgan McPhaul and Bodie Boydstun after camp injuries limited Oscar Hammond and LSU transfer Donovan Green. - Morris expects regular tight-end rotation unless one player earns a larger role through consistent execution, a shift from an offense that gave one tight end roughly 70 percent of the snaps last season. - Morris has evolved his Mike Leach-influenced offense toward a more aggressive running game while emphasizing run defense program-wide, and former Mississippi State quarterback Will Rogers has joined the staff as an offensive analyst.

- 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.
