Oklahoma State football opens season vs Tulsa under new coach Eric Morris

Oklahoma State Cowboys will open their 2024 season against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, a matchup that shifted last year when Tulsa ended a decade‑long winning streak with an upset. New head coach Eric Morris, hired after that loss, says the game will be a test of the program’s new direction rather than a routine opener.

Morris arrived with a largely rebuilt roster and a 20‑player recruiting class ranked No. 16 in the Big 12. Among the newcomers, safety Braeden Presley of Bixby, Oklahoma, is considered the freshman most likely to earn a starting role, thanks to his versatile high‑school production and the opportunities opened by recent transfers.
