Oklahoma State Football Roster Comparison, Spring vs Current

If you haven't seen it, the updated fall roster is out, and there have been some changes since the spring.  Some changes were for the better, (Cooper Bassett is up 16 pounds), some for the worse (JW Walsh is still only 6-1), and some are flat out unbelievable (we will get to these).  To start, let's take a look at who was listed on the Spring Depth Chart, but is not included in this one.

Alvstad Zachary WR, Anwanwan David WR, Barker Aaron DT, Bryson Hutchins DE, Grant Goodwin RB, Javius Townsend OL, Johnny Deaton QB, Kirk Zachary LB, Michael Roberts RB, Nathan Sorenson WR, Patrick Hoog OL, Peter Okonofua DL, Randall Hathoot OL, Rashid Conteh DB, Ryan Lester LB, Ryan Williams IR, Will Garrett DE, Zach Yates WR.

There are some decent names in there.  Sorenson and Deaton were highly recruited, and Hoog was thought to have been a nice talent, and may still be at UTSA, but for the most part it is the typical turnover we see every off-season.  I would look up where everyone went but 1) I don't really care, and 2) They are no longer Cowboys, so see #1.

On to the guys that will be suiting up this fall.  The full roster and vitals (with weight changes) are after the jump, but first a few thoughts:

• I am not sure which weight gain is more amazing... Devin Hedgepeth gaining 17 points, or Colton Chelf gaining 16.  Neither guy looked like they had the frame to pack on that much over the summer, and I wasn't sure Chelf could ever crack 160, much less get to 178. (Tangent thought: wouldn't it be great if all 16 pounds was just fat?  Chelf waddles out week 1 with a beautiful, tan, round belly that is the evidence of a summer spent drinking by the pool.)  As for Hedgepeth, getting up to a respectable CB weight should pay huge dividends in the secondary.
  
• Justin Gilbert put on 12 pounds, and is now at an almost unfair weight of 205. I can't wait to see his return skills on display at that weight.  Getting over 200 also gives him much more versatility on the defensive side as he now is a good fit at dime or nickle. Hell, James Thomas played the star at 209 last season.
• Scanning up and down that thing, so many guys (8 to be exact) that have "OL" next to their name either gained or lost double digits. Rob Glass got that entire O-line depth chart to some ideal playing weights.  Outstanding work as always.
• Christian Littlehead.  Good Lord.  I won't spoil it for you, but once you see the weight difference column next to his name, all the work he put in over the summer is plainly apparent, as is the reasoning for him getting the starting gig.
• Our favoritely named punter, Bobby Stonebraker put on a nice 10 pounds.  I heard that 4 of it was pure testicle.
