One of the brightest stars in the Big 12 Conference has officially played his final college football game after three years in Stillwater.
Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II shared his future plans on social media on Friday afternoon, electing to forgo his final season of eligibility to pursue a career in the NFL.
“Oklahoma State, it’s been an amazing run,” Gordon said. “From day one, I knew I was in the right place. The love, support, and family I’ve gained here will always be a part of me. I want to thank God for making all of this possible, blessing me with the ability to play the game I love, and providing opportunities that have brought me to this point.
Gordon then thanked his family, coaches and staff, teammates, and Cowboy Nation for the role that they all played in his development on and off the field.
“Now it’s time to take the next step in living out my dream,” Gordon concluded. “I’m excited to announce that I am officially declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft. Thank you, OSU, for everything.”
In his three seasons with the Cowboys, Gordon totaled some incredible numbers. The Texas native finished his career with 537 carries for 2,920 yards and 36 touchdowns. He also added 80 grabs for 585 yards and four scores through the air.
In 2023, Gordon was the best running back in college football, bringing the Doak Walker Award to Stillwater for the first time in program history. Gordon leaves Stillwater with a lasting impact as he looks to find success at the next level.
