Cowboys Depth Chart Shifts at Left Tackle and Running Back for West Virginia Game
Oklahoma State removed the 'OR' at left tackle, naming Shaun Torgeson the clear starter. At running back, Ayo Adeyi and Tre Page III are now listed as co-starters after both performed well. Freshman Ja'Qwon Evans is back at right tackle for the Week 4 matchup.
The left tackle position is now firmly held by Shaun Torgeson, who started the last two games and has outperformed Desmond Magiya. He also serves as backup at left guard. At running back, Ayo Adeyi and Tre Page III are listed as co-starters, reflecting their similar production—Adeyi has 115 yards on 18 carries, Page has 83 on 16—and coach Morris's stated trust in both.
Freshman Ja'Qwon Evans returns to the depth chart as Ashton Lepo's backup at right tackle, having impressed in the Murray State game. In the secondary, Mose Phillips III takes over as starting free safety, while Markeith Williams, who led the team with five tackles last week, shifts to backup boundary safety behind Quentin Hammonds.
These depth chart decisions could influence team performance in the upcoming game, affecting fan engagement and season outlook. The clarity at left tackle and running back may boost offensive consistency, while safety changes could alter defensive chemistry. For players, these shifts impact playing time and career trajectories. For the broader college sports community, such adjustments highlight the competitive nature of roster management, potentially shaping recruiting narratives and fan expectations for Oklahoma State's season.
