OSU Commits in Action

WR Jalen McCleskey

Jalen had another strong game, finishing with 5 receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown as St. Paul shut out Hammond 36-0 Thursday Night. McCleskey leads all receivers on his team with 17 receptions for 246 yards and 5 touchdowns through 5 games.

QB John Kolar

Norman North gave the 6A-1 leading Union Redskins a scare Friday night, as Kolar threw a 29-yard touchdown pass before halftime to cut the lead to 14-7. However, that was as close as Norman North would get, as Union won easily 56-21. Kolar finished the game 9-21 for 240 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception.

On a brighter note, Kolar has been selected to play in the Simper Fi All-American Bowl, joining fellow OSU commit Jaylon Lane on the West Team. On the year, John has thrown for 1285 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions giving him a QB Rating of 99.1

McKinney North was able to win easily over Prosper 43-19 despite the star running back's absence. There has been no announcment on Jones' availability this week against Lovejoy. Ronald has rushed for 878 yards on 82 carries (10.7 yards per carry) and 12 touchdowns this season.

OT Brandon Pertile

Unfortunately, Pertile has suffered a knee injury, and is out for the season for Mesa Community College. Pertile will begin rehab and will join the Cowboys in the spring, after suffering a season ending knee injury.

OT Deya Mhiesen

Mhiesen is redshirting at Pierce College this season, allowing him three years of eligibility. Deya plans to enroll next spring to compete for playing time next season.

Tim Settle Takes Official Visit

There was a very large contingency of recruits on hand to see the Cowboy's 37-20 victory over Iowa State, however, there was no bigger prospect than 5-star defensive tackle Tim Settle. Hailing from Menassas, VA, Settle is rated as the #3 DT on ESPN, and 15th overall on the ESPN300. Settle recently visited Virginia Tech last week, and is scheduled to take an official visit to West Virginia next week. He currently holds offers from close to 40 schools.

This was the second time Settle has visited Stillwater, as he visited in the summer and was very impressed by the facilities. Here is what he told Robert Allen at GoPokes:

"I had a great time," Settle texted to Go Pokes. "I love the football staff and they are all great people down there. The town is beautiful."

Settle finished the 2013-2014 season with 72 tackles, 3 sacks, and 5 pass breakups.
