Oklahoma State Lands Athletic 2023 Receiver Camron Heard

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State is already seeing results from its elite prospect camp this past week, “The Show,” as the Cowboys have received a commitment from one of the participants, Camron Heard.

Heard is a 6-0, 160-pound athlete out of Furr High School in Houston, TX, and is listed as a three-star prospect in the 2023 class. He currently holds 15 offers, with Heard choosing the Cowboys over Arkansas, Louisiana, Louisiana Tech, Sam Houston, South Alabama, Texas Tech, Tulane and Tulsa among others.

Heard is a dual-threat quarterback for Furr, but like most of the schools that have offered him, Oklahoma State is interested in him as a receiver, skills he showcased at “The Show.”

Heard was one of the most popular receivers running routes in the one-on-one work during “The Show” as he has excellent speed and one of the best vertical jumps Monday night (June 6). He was especially fun on the deep ball as he got excellent separation.

This past season as a junior, Heard was tabbed the Texas District 11-4A-I MVP following a stellar season in which he went 48-of-90 for 714 yards and four touchdowns through the air, while rushing for 1,068 yards and 11 touchdowns on just 94 carries.

He was nearly just as effective on the ground his sophomore season as he rushed for 859 yards and eight touchdowns on 89 carries, while throwing for 351 yards and two touchdowns on 32-of-75 passing.

Heard is an athletic speedster who will be a great addition to the receiver room. On Monday at “The Show,” heard ran a 4.49 40-time, while posted a 36.6-inch vertical. Certainly, measurables Kasey Dunn can put to good use. 

Heard makes the ninth commitment in the 2023 recruiting cycle, the fourth on the offensive side of the ball. He joins QB Zane Flores, OLmen JaKobe Sanders and Jack Endean, DEs Jaedon Foreman, Billy Walton and Ricky Lolohea, CB Dylan Smith and S Kam Franklin.
