  With college offensive linemen, size is almost always viewed as a positive trait. But for some, they pass the point of benefit and it becomes a hindrance. That's where Caleb Etienne was when he arrived at Oklahoma State last summer. The 6-foot-7 transfer from Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kansas, showed up weighing 360 pounds. On top of that, he hadn't played in an actual game since the fall of 2019, because the COVID pandemic wiped out an entire year of football for most junior colleges across the country. So even though he had been training, he wasn't in the type of shape required to play a full game - especially in the fast-paced Oklahoma State offense.

When fall camp opened last August, opportunity was ripe for Etienne. The Cowboys needed a starting left tackle, and he fit the bill. But physically, he wasn't ready to adapt to the intensity of the OSU offense. And that slowed his ability to learn the system as well. He appeared in the first three games of the season as a backup, gaining some important on-field experience. He continued to suit up for the rest of the season, but it became a year of development for the promising prospect. When spring practice opened in March, a slimmer Etienne was at the front of the left tackle line. "I lost about 40 pounds and I'm feeling good," Etienne said following the Cowboys' spring finale last month. "It makes a lot of difference. I can move better. My knees don't hurt as much. It's been going good and I'm really happy about that." - Daily Oklahoman
