STILLWATER — DeQuinton Osborne chats on animatedly, recalling his circuitous route to Oklahoma State, finding gain in both a failed first stop at Missouri and then a career restart at Kilgore Junior College.
“You do a lot of growing,” he said.
Yet when it comes to the stop he didn't make, bailing on a commitment to scandal-scarred Baylor, Osborne opts for the silent treatment.
“I really don't want to get much into it,” the Cowboys defensive tackle said. “I'm just glad that I'm here.”
He and everyone else associated with the OSU defense is glad, with Osborne starting and playing well, coming off a win at Texas Tech that saw him recognized as the team's Defensive Most Valuable Player.
