Oklahoma State signed four safeties to it 2017 recruiting class, but only one has played this season, and he has played in both games.

Thabo Mwaniki was rated as the Cowboys’ third-best safety signing in the class, according to 247 Sports. Kris McCune and Trey Sterling had higher grades, but Mwaniki made the biggest splash when he got to Stillwater. And that’s not coming from me.

“He’s real different,” senior safety Tre Flower said. “He came in with a real different mindset.”

Mwaniki was coach Mike Gundy’s fifth signing from Denton Guyer High School on the northwest side of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro.
