We’re just days away from Oklahoma State’s first spring football practice and Cowboy defensive coordinator Derek Mason’s first look at his new talent-rich defensive line in action.
Under Jim Knowles, the group was among the best in the nation, leading all FBS teams in sacks per game and ranking fifth in rushing defense.

But the good news for Mason is that he’s got plenty of talent returning up front.
