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.

Oklahoma State's Eric Morris discusses depth chart questions, other topics ahead of Tulsa game
- 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.

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.

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.
