Our next number belongs to an under-the-radar cowboy back who could have a significant role in the offense in 2017.
How he got to OSU
Abbott came to Oklahoma State as a preferred walk-on as part of the 2014 class. He played quarterback for his dad, former NFL Football Giant and now head coach at Liberal High School (Kan.). Abbott (the younger) held scholarship offers from the likes of UTSA, Wyoming and Tulsa, but chose OSU with the hopes of earning a scholarship.
What he’s down in Stillwater
After a redshirt year in 2014, Abbott saw the field in two games in 2015 and 12 in 2016, mostly on special teams.
