Malachi Nelson may only be a freshman, but schools around the country are quickly taking notice of his physical gifts and strong arm as a passer. Oklahoma State is just the latest.
On Wednesday the Pokes offered a scholarship to Nelson making him their first quarterback target in the 2023 recruiting class, per 247Sports. To understand how OSU views his talents: he is just the seventh recruit in that cycle to be offered a scholarship by the staff. (OSU, like many schools, typically offers its highest targets on the board first before working down.)
Despite his youth and despite OSU’s seemingly early entry to land his services, Nelson is already something of a phenom.
