Defensive Notebook: A Bulkier Rodriguez, Clay’s Surgery and Kelso

The Cowboys defense is just days from its most hyped up season in recent memory.

Oklahoma State’s defense has had a lot said about it entering the 2020 campaign, but Saturday that talk will turn to pad pops against Tulsa. Linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez and safety Kolby Harvell-Peel met with reporters after practice Wednesday. Here are some things they hit on.

Rodriguez bulking up in second season at LB

OSU was thought to be shorthanded at linebacker last season as Malcolm Rodriguez transitioned to the position group, but he and Amen Ogbongbemiga shut that talk up.

Rodriguez finished the year with a team-high 103 tackles, and he did that while being listed at 205 pounds.
