5 Oklahoma State Cowboys to know before Oklahoma’s final Bedlam matchup

Oklahoma is set to take on in-state rivals Oklahoma State on Saturday. Here’s a look at five Cowboys to know ahead of Bedlam.

Bragging rights for the state of Oklahoma are on the line Saturday afternoon with a rowdy Stillwater crowd. The Oklahoma Sooners and Oklahoma State Cowboys matchup in Bedlam one final time as Big 12 rivals. The two schools haven’t come to an agreement to continue playing in the future.

The game also has massive implications for this year’s Big 12 title race. The winner will put itself in a prime position to book a trip to Arlington to start the final month of the season.

The Cowboys started this season 2-0 before losing 33-7 at home to South Alabama from the Sun Belt. They followed that up with a loss to Iowa State before righting the ship and reeling off wins in their last four games, including wins over Kansas and Kansas State. The makeup of this team is different than Oklahoma State teams of the past.

Mike Gundy is doing an terrific job coaching this team. As the Sooners get ready for one final Bedlam battle, here are five Oklahoma State Cowboys to know ahead of the matchup.

Former Oklahoma target gets released from Letter of Intent

Former Oklahoma Sooners target in the 2021 class, Kendal Daniels of Beggs, Oklahoma, has been released from his LOI with Texas A&M.

The recruiting trail for the 2021 class doesn’t appear to be over just yet. According to multiple reports former Oklahoma Sooners target, Kendal Daniels has been released from his LOI with the Texas A&M Aggies. Daniels is a four-star recruit and one of the top safeties in the country according to his 247Sports profile. The Oklahoma native is likely back on the radar for the Sooners defense.

Daniels is the No. 1 player out of the state of Oklahoma and his profile shows that the Sooners, as well as the Oklahoma State Cowboys, are at the top of the list for him. It would be quite an addition to the 2021 recruiting cycle for Lincoln Riley and Alex Grinch. Daniels would be another defensive back that could find his way into the rotation in 2021 and beyond.

Oklahoma loses top in-state prospect Kendal Daniels to Texas A&M

Oklahoma has lost the last two top in-state defensive backs over the last three years, and the Sooners let the 2021 version go elsewhere.

Four-Star ’21 Safety Lists Notre Dame in Final 12

Kendal Daniels is a top defensive back in the ’21 recruiting class – announced his top-12 schools Tuesday. See who Notre Dame is up against

The hunt remains on for Notre Dame and their 2021 recruiting class as it currently sits seventh nationally in the 247Sports rankings but the Irish remain in play for several key targets.  Although still probably a bit of a long-shot to land his commitment, Notre Dame made the top 12 for safety Kendal Daniels today.

Daniels, a four-star recruit from Beggs, Oklahoma, announced his 12 finalists on Twitter late Tuesday afternoon.

Notre Dame joins five SEC schools including Alabama, Georgia and LSU while home-state Oklahoma and Oklahoma State both also made his cut.  Clemson and Florida State both made it from the ACC while the only Pac-12 school listed is Oregon.

Daniels’s athleticism sticks out on tape but so does his instincts.  I’m not saying he’s Ed Reed when I say this because pretty much nobody ever has been but his ability to read a play compared to everyone else on the field is noticeable – just watch the tape and notice him headed to where the ball will soon be headed, it’s impressive.   Daniels also has the speed to make plays which is clearly obvious above.

Whoever ends up getting him is going to be getting a player that certainly seems to have the football IQ to make an early impact.
