Updated: Isaiah Butler-Tanner Announces Decommitment From Oklahoma State

(Pokes Report publisher Robert Allen contributed to this story.)

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State has lost a second commitment in the 2025 class as Killeen (TX) Shoemaker tight end, Isaiah Butler-Tanner, took to Twitter Wednesday evening to announce his decision to decommit.

He deleted the post just a few minutes later, but he has also deleted his original commitment post and taken all things OSU out of his Twitter bio. He sent his decommitment post back out Thursday afternoon.

Butler-Tanner is having a bit of a down senior season as he’s posted just 13 catches for 188 yards and one touchdown through the first eight games of the season. 

The Cowboys now have 17 commitments in the 2025 class, with 10 coming on the offensive side of the ball. 

Last weekend McKinney (Texas) defensive lineman Jordan Covington de-committed from the Cowboys. The loss of two commitments could be the current climate of college football and the rough side of roster building and roster maintenance. The House vs. NCAA settlement is scheduled to become final in May and that will bring in the new roster limits which is 105 for college football. That means programs are going to have to manage their current roster, add players they need for immediate help through the portal, and make sure that enough players leave the program to balance the numbers.

Departures will leave through graduation, outgoing portal activity, and unfortunately cuts to the current rosters, if need be. Another part of the balance is how many high school players a school will sign. Unfortunately, many high school recruits were offered before all the current ramifications on rosters and the absolute cap of 105 players in the program was known.
