JOsh stewart

He’s got a lot of upside. He’s kind of what we’re looking for inside. Our outside guys are the taller, faster guys, and the inside guys are, most of the time, twitchy punt returner types who match up well against some of the linebackers and guys like that.

He’s also a hard and shifty runner. I remember he made his cousin miss on a tackle against A&M and got a nice gain out of it.

DM : Yeah, he kind of got our comeback started. He hit a little flat route, took off and got about 30 yards out of it. We ignited after that play early in the third quarter. He runs well. I think his dominant trait is his ability to make you miss.

I remember Josh Cooper had a lot of catches and runs like that during his career. He’s very similar to Josh.

DM: Yeah. Josh Cooper was a little bigger, but he did a lot of the same stuff. Josh Cooper was probably about 5’ 11,” and Josh “Stew” is probably 5’ 9.”

Size is really not an issue inside. It’s just about catching the little stuff and making big stuff out of it.

DM: He’s another big guy. He’s about 6’ 3” and 220 pounds. Really, really athletic. Really good ball skills. He was a high school quarterback, and he played a little bit of receiver. He’s still learning the position, but he’s going to be a good player. I just think that he needs every rep he can get and every opportunity to watch film and try to absorb things.

When you get redshirted like he did as a freshman, you may play receiver, but you’re just over there running the scout team cards. It’s not like you’re running our offense. You’re running somebody else’s offense. So, he’s really just had this spring at that position. He needs a ton of work. But he has a lot of upside and he’s a bigger target, too.

DM: Blake is a bigger kid, a tight end guy, but he’s got more of a receiver’s body. He’s about 225, 230 pounds. He’s a little bigger than a lot of the other receivers. He can body up on guys. He’s real long and he can outmuscle some guys for the ball, use his length and things like that. Also, he’s a good, solid blocker on the perimeter when we’re throwing little screens and stuff out there. He’s a good player

DM: He’s an incoming freshman who ran a 4.47 in the 40-yard dash. That’s an electronic 4.47. That is like running a 3.43 if someone’s clocking you by hand because of the delay - because you’re 40 yards away from them. They pick their hand up off the ground and you’re always a little late pushing the button on the stopwatch. Whereas, if someone is clocked electronically, it’s dead spot on. He was the fastest kid out of our new crew. We really like him, his instinctiveness and his ball skills.

DM: On the other side, we have John Goodlett who’s a walk-on transfer, a kid from Indiana State who went to Owasso High School. We really like him, too. He does a lot of good stuff.

PREPARE TO IGNITE YOUR THOUGHTS AND INSPIRE YOUR FUTURE WITH A SPECIAL EVENT THIS FALL.

OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY PRESENTS: it’s a lonely, vital position, and one that requires a unique kind of athlete.

Starting in the 1980s, TED Talks originated as a conference designed to promote Ideas Worth Spreading and expanded into a worldwide community eager to participate in the phenomenon.

TEDxOStateU includes speakers who are sure to IGNITE ideas that will stay with you long after the conference.

OSU students, faculty, alumni and others will IGNITE a discussion you will not want to miss.

TEDX OSTATEU.COM VISIT: FOR MORE INFORMATION & UPDATES.

When OSU starting cornerbacks Brodrick Brown or Justin Gilbert line up across from a wide receiver, if they turn around and look back, there is no one there. No safeties. No linebackers. Only the endzone. They are the last line of defense against an opposing offense’s push for points.
