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.
