There were plenty of pleasant surprises during 2015’s fall camp, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

Oklahoma State’s fall camp ended a week ago, and fall practices are now in full swing, with the 2015 opener against Central Michigan less than two weeks away.

Fall camp gives the coaching staff valuable time to be able to evaluate both new and returning players, gauging how far they’ve come, or how much further they need to go, while also allowing depth charts to be mostly set. Fall practices then become more of preparation time for upcoming games and the full stretch of the season, in between player’s academic commitments.

We learned a good portion about 2015’s rosey outlook during spring practice, but some big winners have emerged with the arrival of fall, particularly these three, who all happen to be newcomers.
