OSU Football Lands Commitment From Three-Star Wide Receiver
Recruiting in the DFW is recruiting local, according to Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy. Driving a few hours south on I-35 to reach Dallas, TX is essentially the same as traveling through Oklahoma to recruit "local" talents.
Gundy has backed up his take, securing another 2025 recruit from the DFW. On Sunday, three-star wide receiver Kameron Powell (McKinney, TX) announced his commitment to Oklahoma State, marking the program's fifth commitment of the class.
The second big weekend of official visits is already paying off for Gundy and Kasey Dunn, as the 6-foot-1, 200-pound receiver chose the Cowboys over Arkansas, Kansas, Arizona State, Boston College and others.
Powell received an offer from Dunn and the Cowboys late in January, which he has since seen him receive plenty of other offers.
"Oklahoma State stood out to me a lot because you can just tell everybody there is family," Powell told 247Sports' McClain Baxley. "There's just a bond and when you have like a family bond like that, you tend to win a lot. A lot of receivers have come through here."
For Powell to have those feelings after visiting Stillwater should be a good sign for the Pokes moving forward. Last week, their round of official visits saw their 2025 class receive more commitments, and the same cadence could follow this week.
What else led to Powell choosing Oklahoma State?
"It has everything you need," Powell said. "It may not be as big as other schools. But the coaches have been there for a while, some of them like Gundy played at Oklahoma State. That just made me like it even more."
Powell understands Oklahoma State's ability to utilize playmakers and have wide receivers develop and make big names for themselves -- similar to Dez Bryant and Justin Blackmon.
"I'm a playmaker," Powell said. "Just throw it up and I'll get it. I don't have a problem with that. I love scoring touchdowns."
The Cowboys are getting another incredible talent in Powell as the Pokes' fifth commit's recruitment is "pretty shut down." They hoist the No. 42 2025 recruiting class across college football, according to 247 Sports.
