STILLWATER – Following the 32-24 road win over No. 25 Texas, Oklahoma State picks up two Big 12 Player of the Week honors, one on each side of the ball.

Safety Jason Taylor II earns the Defensive Player of the Week and running back Jaylen Warren earns Newcomer of the Week.

Taylor II was electric on Saturday as he was second on the team in total tackles with seven, four of which were solo stops. He also hauled in his first interception on the season, an 85-yard pick six that gave the Pokes their first touchdown of the game.

On the season, Taylor II has 18 total tackles, 14 of which have been solo stops, 1.0 tackles for loss, three quarterback hurries, one pass break up, one interception and one blocked kick.

Warren was also electric on Saturday, but with his big-time performance coming in the second half. He finished with 33 carries for 193 yards, with 14 carries for 138 yards coming in the fourth quarter.

On the season, Warren’s rushed for 705 yards and six touchdowns on 148 carries and 11 catches for 122 yards.

The Cowboys are back out on the road this coming weekend for the second-straight week, this time in Ames, IA against Iowa State. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. CT on FOX.
