STILLWATER — Oklahoma State has received a verbal pledge from an in-state quarterback for its 2016 recruiting class.
Nyc Burns — a 6-foot-4, 175-pound senior from Berryhill High School (Class 3A) — made his decision via Twitter (@BycNurns13) late Thursday: "I've decided to commit to Oklahoma State! #gopokes." Burns will join the program as a preferred walk-on, according to a report in the Tulsa World.
Burns, who recently finished his first and only season as a starter at Berryhill with a 7-4 record, passed for 2,860 yards with 35 touchdowns and nine interceptions to go along with 706 rushing yards for 11 more scores.
