Aidan Meola, Oklahoma State’s third baseman, is officially heading pro with a free agent deal from the Colorado Rockies — making him the sixth Cowboy signed by MLB this year. Joining teammate Hudson Barrett, who was drafted earlier, Meola’s journey through injuries — including shoulder surgery — culminated in a breakout 2024 season: .320 batting average, 17 homers, 69 RBIs, and All-Big 12 Second Team honors. Over 149 games, he’s mashed 32 homers and driven in 152 runs, proving his resilience and talent deserve a major league stage.

Dylan Bowen, committed to OSU, went to the Reds in the fifth round. Hudson Barrett, recovering from Tommy John surgery, was taken by the Rockies in the eighth. Senior Mario Pesca, a transfer from St. John’s, was drafted by the Guardians in the ninth. Injured infielder Avery Ortiz, showing improvement, was selected by the Nationals in the eighteenth.

"Someone’s Life Is Changing Today..." - A message from Corey

Kashie Natt is back on the court with Oklahoma State basketball after a judge sided with him, blocking the NCAA from penalizing the team or stopping him from playing — a major win that restores his eligibility for now. The ruling reverses the NCAA’s earlier denial of his waiver for the 2026-27 season, allowing him to practice and play all team activities. While this isn’t final, the decision sets the stage for a critical hearing that could determine his future eligibility. Natt’s legal team argues the NCAA mishandled his case, ignoring key facts and improperly managing his eligibility clock. With a standout season at Sam Houston and a decorated NAIA career at LSU-Alexandria, Natt’s return is a big moment for both his legacy and Oklahoma State’s roster.

Happy 4th of July! - A message of Corey

Oklahoma State guard Kashie Natt is suing the NCAA to gain an extra year of eligibility, arguing his five-year clock should reset to August 2027, allowing him to play in 2026-27. After transferring from LSU-Alexandria to Sam Houston — where he earned Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year — Natt’s waiver request was denied after NCAA rule changes, and his legal team claims the NCAA ignored key details. With his NBA draft plans scrapped due to the NCAA’s process, Natt is now sidelined from the OSU roster, leaving the Cowboys with 13 scholarships filled. Coach Steve Lutz has publicly supported Natt, calling him a standout teammate and human being, as the team waits for a legal resolution.

Oklahoma State crushed Oklahoma in the Bedlam Series again this year, claiming their sixth all-sports title in seven years with a jaw-dropping 18-5-1 record. After a shaky start with a soccer loss, they stormed back with a 10-game win streak, then closed out the season with seven straight victories. Wrestling delivered a historic 37-0 shutout on Jan. 11 — the first since 1992 — featuring freshman Jax Forrest’s lightning-fast pin. Baseball got sweet revenge on April 14, rallying with four homers (including two from Campbell Smithwick) to win despite rain. Softball stunned the nation’s No. 1 team with a complete-game shutout, led by Karli Godwin’s homer and Ruby Meylan’s nine-strikeout performance. Across the board, OSU dominated — proving once again why they’re the kings of Bedlam.

Viktor Hovland capped a thrilling week with his eighth PGA Tour win at the Travelers Championship, edging out Scottie Scheffler in a dramatic playoff after a weather-delayed final round. Hovland’s gutsy 62 on Friday set the stage, and he delivered under pressure, sinking a tricky downhill birdie putt in the playoff while Scheffler’s four-footer lipped out. The win marks Hovland’s first since Valspar and catapults him to 20th in the FedEx Cup. With his mom and roaring Norwegian fans cheering him on, Hovland admitted the stakes were high—but his hunger to improve only grew stronger.
