Huge thanks to everyone

Oklahoma State is playing for a Big 12 title on Saturday with a DC who came from Division II.
How Bryan Nardo got from Gannon University to here - and how Mike Gundy found him - is one heck of a story. Wrote about an improbable pick paying off:
- Crossover Run breaks
EMPHASIS:
✅Zone eyes
✅ Good knee flexion
✅Shoulders down (emphasize front shoulder)
✅ RUN + React
✅ Plant, Point, Drive to MAN 2 steps before snapping eyes back to ball
Central Oklahoma has new coaches on the defensive side of the ball, including safeties coach Thomas Pearson. He and veterans Kobey Stephens and Dylan Buchheit talk safeties in the latest video from camp!
