STILLWATER – Oklahoma State is losing another experienced linebacker heading into the 2023 season. Lamont Bishop took to Twitter Thursday morning to announce he’s declaring for the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft.
Bishop was told following the regular season he did not, in fact, an extra year of eligibility like originally thought.
Bishop’s been in Stillwater for three years, playing in the previous two. He played in all 13 games for the Cowboys this past season, with the Guaranteed Rate Bowl against Wisconsin being his best game as he recorded nine total tackles and two tackles for loss. He finished the season with 29 total tackles, 17 of which were solo stops, and 4.5 tackle for loss. He also had three quarterback hurries, one forced fumble and one safety.
He played in 13 games during the 2021 season, missing only the season opener. He recorded four total tackles, all of which were solo stops. He also recorded two tackles for loss, one sack and one quarterback hurry.
He transferred in from Iowa Central CC prior to the 2020 season but didn’t see any action in ’20.
The Cowboys return Xavier Benson, Nick Martin, Donovan Stephens, Jeff Roberson and Gabe Brown, and are bringing in Tulsa transfer linebacker Justin Wright.
