Taylor Cornelius and his success on the field, or lack thereof, had nothing to do with Jalen McCleskey’s decision to redshirt and transfer away from Oklahoma State, a source close to McCleskey informed Pistols Firing.
“Corndog is not the issue,” said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “I feel bad for Cornelius because he’s taking the brunt of the heat. Corndog is told where to go with the ball. He had nothing to do with [McCleskey’s decision].”
According to a source, there was some internal dialogue between McCleskey and Oklahoma State about him possibly redshirting for 2018 and playing again in Stillwater in 2019, but ultimately the two sides landed elsewhere, and McCleskey will transfer after graduating.
