Scholarships aplenty

At his weekly press conference Tuesday, WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen announced that Morgantown native Shane Commodore earned a scholarship, based on hard work both on and off the football field.

This morning it was announced that Oklahoma redshirt senior fullback Jaxon Uhles has earned a scholarship, as well.

Tongamoa cleared for Iowa State

Junior college transfer defensive lineman Kamilo Tongamoa was cleared yesterday, making him eligible to play this season. However, this does come with a caveat, as he still has classwork to turn in at Merced Community College in California, which will delay him suiting up for the Cyclones.

Tongamoa, who was highly touted out of MCC, and picked Iowa State over colleges like Oklahoma State and Texas, tallied 25 tackles for loss and was named a first-team All-American during his JUCO days.

UT’s Beck out for season

Injuries have been piling up to a degree in Austin during the build up to the 2017 regular season, and one injury is now year-ending.

Senior tight end Andrew Beck is scheduled to undergo foot surgery this week and will miss the season.

Beck only played in three games last year, hauling in four catches for 82 yards and two touchdowns.

Cowboys deep at WR

Heisman candidate Mason Rudolph has the good fortune of one of the top receivers in the country in James Washington returning for his senior year. But Washington isn’t the only playmaker in the Cowboys arsenal.

A recent preview of the Oklahoma State receiving corps shows that, even if you take out Washington’s production from last year, Mike Gundy’s team returns 111 catches, over 1,300 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.

It gets even better for Cowboys fans, with the return of Marcell Ateman and addition of former five-star recruit Tyron Johnson, who was forced to sit 2016 out after transferring from LSU.
