Oklahoma State has been making it rain with running back scholarships the past few days. On Wednesday, they made two offers, one being to George Ranch, Texas standout Alex Fontenot.

I caught up with the 2017 standout after his offer, and he was absolutely ecstatic when the Cowboys came calling.
“I just couldn’t stop smiling for about 20 minutes,” Fontenot said after the offer came in.
Despite being a backup in 2015, he still achieved first team all district honors, totaling more than 1,400 yards and 21 touchdowns to go with a state championship.
