STILLWATER – Oklahoma State is still in the market and bidding (NIL) for former Virginia quarterback Brennan Armstrong. Now, it appears one of the other two contenders for Armstrong may be out of the running because they will have added a second transfer portal quarterback and this one is a veteran.
The Wisconsin Badgers, who beat Oklahoma State on Dec. 27 in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl 24-17, added former OU quarterback in freshman Nick Evers. Now, ESPN is reporting from its sources that SMU quarterback Tanner Mordecai is heading to Wisconsin.
The 6-3, 214-pound Mordecai had 7,152 passing yards with 72 touchdowns and 22 interceptions the past two seasons for SMU, setting a team record with 13 games of 300 passing yards or more. He began his career at Oklahoma, spending three seasons as a backup before transferring to SMU. His reported heading to Wisconsin was first reported by Adam Rittenberg from ESPN.
Oklahoma State and North Carolina State are still reportedly pursuing Armstrong. Our sources report that Oklahoma State has had productive conversations with both Armstrong and his representative.
Armstrong had that one fabulous season in 2021 with 326-of-500 for 4,449-yards and 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. His career has been solid, and his dual threat style would be a great fit for Oklahoma State.
