Oklahoma State leads way with five returning All-Big 12 Conference selections

Oklahoma State has more starters back than almost anyone in college football — 21 starters with 10 on offense, 10 on defense and 1 on special teams.

The Cowboys also have more All-Big 12 Conference selections returning than any team in the league with five, led by Doak Walker Award-winning running back Ollie Gordon II.

On offense, Gordon and wide receiver Brennan Presley are Oklahoma State’s two returning All-Big 12 picks, with Presley also making All-Big 12 in 2023 as a return specialist.

On defense, Oklahoma State has a pair of All-Big 12 picks returning at linebacker in Collin Oliver and Nickolas Martin. The Cowboys also have one of the most veteran coaches in college football with 20th year head coach Mike Gundy.

Oklahoma State opens its season on Aug. 31 at home against two-time defending FCS national champion South Dakota State.
