STILLWATER — Ahead of the Cowboys’ season opener this past weekend, Justin Kirkland was nearing mythical-figure status among the Oklahoma State fanbase.
The more people looked into Kirkland, the more his legend grew before he even played a snap. For starters, he is listed at 6-foot-4, 346 pounds, making him the heaviest player on the Cowboys’ roster and an ideal fit to plug up the middle of Bryan Nardo’s new 3-3-5 defense.
But then after looking at his measurables, diving further provides more questions. How did someone with that type of size end up at Utah Tech?
