STILLWATER – Oklahoma State running back Jaylen Warren was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Week Monday after his performance in OSU's 24-14 win over No. 21 Baylor on Saturday.
The senior transfer finished with 125 rushing yards and two touchdowns on a career-high 36 carries, adding five receiving yards on two catches. He scored a touchdown on a fourth-down rush with just 2:10 remaining in the game to seal the Cowboys' win.
With 130 all-purpose yards against the Bears, Warren led all players in the game. He has now led the Cowboys in all-purpose yards in three straight games and has at least one rushing touchdown in four of OSU's five games this year.
The recognition marks the third Big 12 weekly honor for Warren this season, as he was also named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week and Big 12 Newcomer of the Week against Boise State. It is the seventh Big 12 weekly honor for OSU in 2021.
