Eli Russ was the Cowboys’ first commitment of the 2020 cycle, pledging to Oklahoma State back in April of 2018.
Some things have changed in Stillwater since then, but Russ has stayed on board. He is the second-highest rated recruit in the OSU’s 2020 class and the 19th ranked guard in the cycle. Russ spokes with PFB on Thursday before his senior season opener Friday night. He talked about his long-term commitment, the Josh Henson-to-Charlie Dickey coaching change and getting more nasty.
