The Texas Titans and Oklahoma State connection hit again Thursday when Cowboys coach Mike Boynton received a signature from three-star power forward Montreal Pena. He signed with the Cowboys over offers from Baylor, TCU, Wake Forest and others.

Pena represents the third member of the super-talented Texas Titans AAU basketball team to select the Cowboys alongside Cade Cunningham and Rondel Walker. On their most recent circuit at the Nike EYBL, Pena averaged 8.8 points per game on 74 percent shooting from the field to go along with 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game.
This, from Rivals, gives good perspective on what to expect from Pena:
“Running alongside Cunningham for the past two years throughout the summer months, Pena is an intriguing forward that is great out in the open floor. He is a rim-running forward that possesses quality hands around the basket, is weapon out of high-ball screen sets that could place Pena and Cunningham together in two-man sets, and has begun to show value as a floor spacer that can make shots out of the mid-range.”
Pena committed after taking an official visit to Stillwater recently. He was in attendance at the Yale game where he witnessed the Pokes defeat the Bulldogs 64-57. He brings the Cowboys’ recruiting class into the nation’s top 10 according to 247Sports and Rivals.
