OSU football: Cowboys in top five for highly rated running back

Oklahoma State was listed among the top five schools for one of the top running backs in the country on Saturday.

Daniyel Ngata, a 5-foot-9, 180-pound senior all-purpose back from Folsom, California, posted his top five on Twitter, listing the Cowboys with Clemson, Texas A&M, Utah and Arizona State.

Ngata is ranked as the No. 48 player overall nationally by the 247 composite rankings, and No. 75 by Rivals.com. Both rank him No. 2 among all-purpose backs.

He also has offers from Alabama, USC, LSU, Michigan, Oregon and several others.

As a junior, Ngata accounted for 1,540 yards from scrimmage between his rushing and receiving totals, and 20 touchdowns overall.
