Brennan Presley, Oklahoma State Football News: Draft Scout Player News

04/19/21 - WR Brennan Presley, rSr/2025, Oklahoma State

Brennan Presley caught fire for the Oklahoma State football team late in his first year on the roster. The 5-foot-8, 170-pound receiver saw an increase in action late in the season that led to his first career touchdown on a jet sweep against Kansas State. That culminated in the Cheez-It Bowl against Miami with six catches for 118 yards and three touchdowns. He won't be filling in the spot left vacant by Tylan Wallace - the Z receiver, which also saw Justin Blackmon and James Washington have success that led to NFL fortunes. However, Presley will run more out of the slot, which could mean even more opportunities than the coveted Z position. "With Presley, he's an inside receiver, so it's always easier to get that guy the football - toss it to him, flip it to him, reverse it to him," said Kasey Dunn, OSU's offensive coordinator and receivers coach. "Inside routes are less intricate than the perimeter receivers, so he's certainly going to be a weapon for us."

The scary notion with what Presley showed late in the season, is how little time he had to prepare for the transition to Division I football due to coming into campus during the COVID-19 pandemic. "If you just play the numbers - repetition-wise, seeing it, watching video - he might have hit that at game five, but we didn't have spring," Cowboy coach Mike Gundy said. "So he played two months - September, October - of catch up, figuring out what's going on, because if you remember in watching our games...he would do things in the game and then like drop the ball. He was in the right spot, but things just move fast. So because he didn't get last spring, he finally started to come on in the end of November and then had a good bowl game - all those reps started adding up." - Stillwater Press
