Oklahoma State’s recruiting efforts have kept them in the regional area. That changes a bit on Saturday.

Per Rivals (subscription required), one of the players set to make an official visit on Saturday for the Colorado game is a running back named Chrystian Ervin.

But flying in a recruit from Washington State represents a level up for Oklahoma State’s efforts to put together a great class for 2028. And Ervin could be an important piece of that puzzle.
