A huge factor behind Oklahoma State’s resurgence during its latest hot streak has come in part because of the emergence of high-flying wing Davon Dillard. A barely utilized player a year ago under Travis Ford, Dillard has become a mainstay rotation player with his consistent effort and ability to play above the rim adding an extra element to the OSU offense.
Beyond the stats and beyond basketball, Dillard has an inspiring story. His father died when he was just 8, which he says made him a stronger person. He talked with Orange Power Studio’s Allison Gappa in an interview this week to talk about his journey to OSU, his workout plans this past summer, his late father, and his former roommate Tyrek Coger, who died before he played a minute with the OSU basketball team.
