Heard from multiple sources within the last week telling me that Collin Clay, the 2019 DE from Oklahoma who signed with Arkansas and entered the transfer portal earlier this month, is transferring to Oklahoma State. Nothing official yet, but it sounds like Clay is on the verge of — if not already — becoming a Cowboy.
Interesting thing to watch here will be if OSU can get him a waiver to play right away. Arkansas fired its coach and returning closer to home are two easy sells to the NCAA in most cases. Either way, getting Clay would be huge.
Can we not have Antwine, and Clay (should he come) be our poster children for why you should stay home ? Their stories are nearly identical . You don’t know who will be the coach of Colorado, Arkansas, Mizz, Texas, TT etc for the duration of your college career but who has been the coach at OSU since you first picked up the pig skin?
Clay won’t be much of a disrupter, at least off of the edge. Would be a good rotation guy who can help against the run. Would likely play inside, he is a big kid, could easily bulk up to around 300 lbs with his frame.
I know Arkansas was absolutely dreadful this year, but he was a pretty established guy in their D line rotation and played quite a lot for them. I asked some Arkansas fans I know about him and they were all definitely upset to see him leave because they thought he had a ton of potential.
He is, and he can play some outside here in our 3 down look, but he isn’t much of a pass rusher. He played at 6-3 and 285 lbs as a true freshman. He will struggle to maintain that weight, he is built like a Mack truck. I think he will end up helping
