The journey and arc for collegiate prospects looking to turn pro can change on a dime.
Coming off an incredible 2023 season, Oklahoma State running back Ollie Gordon II was an early favorite to be one of the top-ranked draft eligible backs for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Gordon’s performance as a sophomore was one for the record books. He was the FBS leader with 1,732 rushing yards and 21 rushing touchdowns. As a receiver, he added 39 receptions for 330 yards and 1 receiving touchdown making him a 2,000-yard from scrimmage player. His dominance earned him All-American accolades, the Big 12 Conference’s Offensive Player of the Year, and the Doak Walker Award given to the nation’s best collegiate running back.
