STILLWATER — Oklahoma State coach Mike Boynton and his staff took a trip to Walmart on Sunday with a surprise in mind.
Walk-on guard Dee Mitchell was working one of his shifts for the week and the staff had some wonderful news.
Mitchell is no longer a walk-on.
Boynton and his staff — with the quarantined Cowboys’ players on a Zoom call — surprised Mitchell at his full-time job with the news that he had earned a scholarship, bringing Mitchell to tears.
