Oklahoma State knows that the future of the program may rest in the transfer portal when it comes to the 2025 season. The Cowboys have already lost their fair share of players to the portal following a very forgettable 2024 football season.

The coaching staff is slowly getting back to its feet and head coach Mike Gundy restructured his contract in order to return next season.The Cowboys are in the hunt for a transfer portal linebacker who could step in and be a force for the Pokes in the middle. Former Grambling State linebacker Andrew Jones hit the portal with one year of eligibility on the books.

His tackles for loss ranked 2nd in the SWAC and fourth in the FCS.Jones registered double-digit tackles in 10 of Grambling State’s 12 games, including logging a season-high 15 tackles versus Alabama A&M.
