When Oklahoma State released it’s spring roster back in February, there weren’t too many surprises outside of a few guys changing their numbers. However, there was one unexpected position move. Former offensive lineman Larry Joubert was now listed as a Cowboy Back, OSU’s hybrid fullback/tight end position.
So, why did Joubert and the Cowboy coaching staff agree on this move?
Heading into 2019, OSU is losing Cowboy Backs Britton Abbott and Sione Finefeuiaki. Neither player contributed much as a receiver, but both guys played key roles in the Cowboy offense as blockers. Now the Pokes return talented pass-catching CWs Jelani Woods and Logan Carter, along with adding a talented high school recruit in Grayson Boomer, but the losses of the skilled blockers mentioned above are significant.
