Oklahoma State Football Transfer Portal: Who Is in and Out for the Cowboys?

Following a 3-9 2024 season, Oklahoma State football aims to improve in the upcoming season after a victory over Kansas State in the Liberty Bowl. With momentum on their side and a year of development under head coach Mike Gundy, the Cowboys aim to elevate their performance in the upcoming season.

The spring transfer portal has brought significant changes to the Cowboys’ roster, with key players departing and exciting new talent joining the program. Among the most notable moves is the arrival of standout linebacker Jeremiah Johnson. Here’s a breakdown of who’s in and out for Oklahoma State.

Who’s In for Oklahoma State?

Terrill Davis (WR)

Transferring from Central Oklahoma Bronchos, Davis brings an impressive track record to the Cowboys’ offense. The 180-pound California native was one of the most prolific wide receivers in the country this past fall, hauling in 1,609 yards and 15 touchdowns. His contributions will add valuable depth and a dynamic edge to the receiving corps.

Eric Fletcher (S)

Fletcher joins the Cowboys from the East Carolina Pirates, where he played in three games last season and recorded one solo stop. In his final two years of high school at Dunbar, Fletcher made 75 catches for 1,193 yards and 19 touchdowns.

As a senior, he had 762 yards and 12 touchdowns. On defense, he recorded 16 total tackles across 14 games in his senior year. These impressive stats highlight his strong potential as a defensive playmaker for the Cowboys.

DeAndre Boykins (CB)

Boykins comes to Oklahoma State from the North Carolina Tar Heels with two seasons of experience. Standing at 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds, he has impressive stats from his time at UNC, including 78 tackles and six tackles for loss over 37 games.

The former North Carolina safety is known for being a strong teammate. His move to OSU is part of the team’s plan to strengthen their defense during a busy spring transfer season.

Darius Thomas (LB)

Darius Thomas, a strong linebacker from the Louisville Cardinals, is now bringing his talent to Oklahoma State. Last season, as a redshirt sophomore, he made a big impact with 54 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, and 4 sacks.

Now, he joins the Cowboys with both skill and experience. His presence adds depth to the linebacker unit. He’s the fourth transfer to join the group this year, alongside Brandon Rawls, Bryan McCoy, and Trip White. 

De’Marion Thomas (DL)

Coming from the Vanderbilt Commodores, Thomas is set to boost Oklahoma State’s defensive line in a big way. The junior has already played in 23 games for Vanderbilt and started every game last season. He played a key role in helping the team earn a bowl game spot with his strong performance.

Last season, the Tulsa native lined up as a nose tackle and finished with 34 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks. His ability to play as a two-gap defender will strengthen Oklahoma State’s pass rush and improve its overall defensive front.

Taje McCoy (LB)

McCoy has transferred from the Colorado Buffaloes, bringing some solid experience with him. Last season, he made 23 tackles and four sacks. Standing at 6-foot-3, the powerful pass rusher made a strong first impression in Week 5 by grabbing two sacks during Colorado’s big win over UCF.

His hard work didn’t go unnoticed. He earned an All-Big 12 Coaches Honorable Mention as Defensive Newcomer of the Year. Now, as he starts his next chapter, fans from his home state of Oklahoma are expecting big things from him. 

Wendell Gregory (EDGE)

Mike Gundy just boosted Oklahoma State’s defense with fresh talent, and former South Carolina edge rusher Wendell Gregory is just another official name on the list. The Georgia native didn’t get much attention during his freshman year in college. But his high school journey tells a different story.

At 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds, Gregory was a four-star recruit. During his senior year, he recorded 56 tackles, 18 for loss, seven sacks, and 14 hurries. Gundy clearly sees him as a future star on the edge for OSU, based on his impressive numbers.
