Coming into the 2017 season, myself and others pegged Oklahoma State’s linebackers as a sneaky might be the best group on defense pick. That was, in large part, due to some proven returning talent and an abundance of quality depth.

Production
OSU was T19 in the nation and No. 2 in the Big 12 with 95 tackles for loss and 27.5 of those came from Cowboy linebackers.
