It marks the most preseason allconference selections for OSU during the Big 12 era.
The four offensive selections, led by the preseason pick for the Offensive Player of the Year and the only unanimous selection to the team in running back Ollie Gordon II, are also more than any other team, while the two defensive selections tie for the most in the 16-team conference.
In addition to the 2023 Doak Walker Award winner in Gordon, OSU’s offensive honorees are wide receiver Brennan Presley, center Joe Michalski and offensive lineman Dalton Cooper. Presley is a two-time All-Big 12 selection while Michalski finished 2023 as the power conference leader in offensive snaps played and Cooper enters 2024 as the team’s leader in career FBS starts with 49.
OSU’s defensive honorees are returning Big 12 leading tackler Nick Martin and three-time All-Big 12 team member Collin Oliver.
With the season-opening game against South Dakota State set for 1 p.m. Aug. 31 at Boone Pickens Stadium, less than nine weeks remain until the 2024 season will kick off.
