The Cowboys are hot on the trail for junior college safety Corrion Ballard. A 6-foot-3, 200-pound prospect from Blinn College, Ballard announced his top five schools that included OSU along with Utah, Nebraska, and Texas Tech.
With the 2017 recruiting class, Oklahoma State can’t afford to miss in recruiting the safety position. They will aim to replace Jordan Sterns and Derrick Moncrief, and will likely rely on younger players who have played sparingly to step up next season. The offer to Ballard makes a lot of sense that would fit OSU’s needs: He has experience, he’s been playing at a higher level than a high school player for one of the top junior colleges, and he could potentially contribute immediately.
