Let’s continue our summer-long countdown with a redshirt sophomore who’s ready to step into a meaningful role.
How he got to OSU
Taaj Bakari came to OSU by way of Mansfield Legacy High School (Mansfield, Texas) as a three-star recruit. He also held an offer from TCU as well as Colorado State and North Texas.
What he’s done in Stillwater
After a redshirt year in 2015, Bakari found himself at the bottom of a deep tackle depth chart in 2016. His single appearance came in the Alamo Bowl when he recorded an assist on a tackle for loss.
