Big 12 Availability Report Out for Homecoming Colorado Game - Mose Phillips Out
STILLWATER – The major story with this week’s Big 12 Availability Report for the upcoming game with Colorado at 6 p.m. on Saturday is a player not on the report. An Oklahoma State source confirmed that safety Mose Phillips III, who suffered a shoulder injury early in the game with UCF and missed last week, is done for the season. He is not on the new report because he has been declared exempt since he is done for the season. The 6-2, 196 pound boundary safety had 23 tackles, 10 unassisted in the five games that he played in. He also had an interceptionand two passes defended.
Phillips III is a senior that transferred from Missouri, also played at Virginia Tech after coming out of Nashville, Tenn. Phillips III under the new five-year rule should have one more season to play next year.
Other than Phillips III, Oklahoma State continues to have a pretty good season as it relates to health. Defensive tackle Landon Dean is out with a lower body injury and will miss the game. Freshman wide receiver Dayvon Standard is questionable. That is how he was listed last week prior to the Houston game and by game day Standard was listed as out. Special teams standout Gunnar Wilson is listed as probable. He would be expected to play. Wilson has five tackles this season, four of those are on special teams.
Colorado has a continued long list of injuries. The major ones are wide receivers Danny Scudero and Kam Perry. Running back Micah Welch is the Buffaloes leading rusher this season. Defensive back Braylon Edwards is also a major contributor. All of those players as well as offensive lineman Jayven Richardson, tight end Zach Atkins, and defensive end Sam Gadie are listed as out for the game.
One of their top pass rushers in defensive end Lamont Lester Jr. as well as corner Preston Ashley are listed as questionable (50 percent chance of playing).
Another CU defensive line starter in tackle Dylan Manuel is listed as probable. Also on the probable list are defensive tackle Santana Hopper, and wide receivers DeAndre Moore Jr. and Quentin Gibson.
There will be another update on Thursday and then a game day report on Saturday morning.
