6. Shamond Greenwood, Wide Receiver
High School: Lakewood Centennial
Hometown: Garland, TX
Height: 6’3″
Weight: 195
247Sports Composite Rating: three-star
Greenwood committed to Oklahoma State on August 2, 2016. He had offers from 14 schools including Iowa, Wisconsin, Utah, and Mississippi State. Along with 12 commits from Texas in his class, Greenwood will join a roster that currently has 66 players from Texas. However, they are currently not players from Garland.
According to 247Sports Composite rankings, Greenwood is the 47th best receiver nationally, and also the 47th best player from Texas.
This is the type of player that could be the next great possession receiver for the Cowboys. At 6’3″, Greenwood has the ability to go up and snag the ball from a defender on the sidelines. His 4.43 40 yard time shows the great speed he possesses. The size and speed combination that Greenwood has is rare to find.
Greenwood’s highlights show a strong route running ability. This translates into making defenders miss in the open field. A homerun receiver could be developed here as well.
Oklahoma State has a reputation of developing top tier receivers. Between former receivers Dez Bryant and Justin Blackmon, and current receiver James Washington, OK State seems to always have a star wideout.
There are four receivers committed to Oklahoma State as of today. Competition for playing time will be tough as always, but watch out for Greenwood.
