STILLWATER – It’s National Signing Day here in Stillwater! Mike Gundy and Co. have made several late pushes to get the 2025 recruiting class’ numbers back up close to 20. That number includes multiple late JUCO additions to go with the high school prospects who have been committed to the program.
As we do every year here at Pokes Report, we have the most extensive recruiting profiles of the Cowboy signees.
Below are the profile for the offensive linemen in the Cowboys’ class.
Jaylan Beckley, OL, 6-4, 289, Addison (Trinity Christian), Texas
Who: One of the top offensive line prospects in Texas. He was listed as a four-star before he committed to Oklahoma State. He played at a smaller private school, but one that is steeped in football tradition. TCA’s home stadium was funded by and is named after former Dallas Cowboys head coach Tom Landry. Beckley will be playing in January in the prestigious U.S. Army All-American Game was he was selected this summer.
What: He comes from a very squared away family as his mother is very successful and his father is the athletic director and basketball coach at Trinity Christian Academy. Beckley defies his background of playing at a small private school. On video, yes, he is seen demolishing smaller guys and lesser competition, but the technique makes you believe along with the size, strength, and explosion that he would be doing the same things playing at Class 6A or 5A levels. He dominates the way he should.
Why: The offensive line loses a bunch of veteran players and will likely be a major makeover with some younger linemen in the program stepping up, but with a lot of recruiting and transfer portal additions. Beckley is a major addition that should be able to play quickly.
How: Beckley de-committed from *Clemson and Oklahoma State reached out. He was courted hard by head coach Mike Gundy and Gundy’s visit opportunities made a decided difference. He also was quoted as saying he and his family really were impressed by recruiting coach Zach Allen. Beckley had a ton of offers besides Oklahoma State and Clemson. There were Auburn, Baylor, California, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Houston, Kansas, LSU, Memphis, Mississippi State, Missouri, Oklahoma, Purdue, Texas A&M, Tennessee, and Tulsa.
Miguel Chavez, OL, 6-5, 300, Muskogee, Okla.
Who: Chavez is a tough customer that plays offensive line like he is on the defensive line. He is physical and a mauler in run blocking situations. Then in pass pro, he uses his good feet and athletic ability.He has been a major reason that Muskogee is unbeaten and playing for the Class 6A-II State Championship.
What: Muskogee is 12-0 and beating people anyway they have to. Chavez was a major facotor in the win over Putnam City as Muskogee and the Pirates were 0-0 at half. It was two long grind it out drives featuring the run offense that made the difference. This is where Miguel Chavez shines. He is a grinder.
Why: The why plays into the how as well. The head coach Mike Gundy really championed the efforts to get Chavez. He liked what he saw and wanted him added to the four linemen already in the 2025 class.
How: Gundy’s involvement was strong, but the offensive line recruiting analyst Zach Allen had the daily efforts and the official visit duties. Oklahoma State did a good job of giving Chavez the reasons for staying closer to home and what his life would be like as a Cowboy
Simona Fuailetolo, OL, 6-6, 300, St. George’s (Desert Hills), Utah
Who: Fualietolo is a big framed offensive tackle prospect that is very athletic. He helped his team to a 7-4 record in his senior season and a playoff win before bowing out of the Utah playoffs in Class-4A. He is already a repeat All-Conference selection and an All-State player in Class 4A.
What: He is big right now but will get even bigger and will continue to move well. I love his hands as they are huge and strong. On video he is a mauler that consumes defenders. Once he is locked on, then the defender is going for a ride. He repeatedly plows targets downfield and plants them in the turf. His athletic ability shows up in his pass protection sets. I also like his propensity to block and then slide off and neutralize a second defender on the play.
Why: Again, Oklahoma State needs to build both a starting five and solid depth in the offensive line. Fuailetolo might not be ready immediately, but he will be ready quickly in not immediate.
How: Offensive line coach Charlie Dickey and recruiting coach Zach Allen did an excellent job, but credit director of player development Beni Tonga too. Tonga knows everybody in Utah and is so good at relating and communicating with the Polynesian cultured prospects and he was with Fuailetolo. He had come off recent visits to Florida, and California. He also was offered by Kansas State, Utah State, Southern Utah, and Idaho State.
Ryker Haff, OL, 6-6, 302, Owasso, Okla.
Who: Haff is three-year starter at Owasso at offensive tackle and has helped lead the Rams into the Class 6A-I State Championship Game this season. His play and the offensive line as a whole has been a major reason that Owasso is unbeaten and dominating the opposition. Haff is a preseason All-State selection and a multiple All-District and All-Area selection by The Tulsa World.
What: He is a large and very strong offensive tackle candidate that can be a driving run blocker but is also athletic enough and light on his feet to be a highly effective pass protector. He plays offensive line with a defensive attitude. Once he is engaged he is hard for the defender to escape.
Why: Oklahoma State needs help on the offensive line with the loss of a lot of personnel. Haff has loads of experience at a very high level of high school football. He has been in an elite high school strength program and has also trained extra on the side. For all of those reasons, plus an older brother that played Division I college football, Haff figures to have it figured out earlier so as to be able to play.
How: His older brother, Spencer, played at NEO A&M Junior College before going to Tulsa. There he played for current Oklahoma State recruiting coach Zach Allen. Charlie Dickey had already established a strong recruiting relationship and talking to the parents when Allen came onboard that solidified it. He committed early but already had offers from Iowa State, Kansas State, Houston, Minnesota, Texas Tech, UNLV, and UTSA.
Isaiah Kema, OL, 6-4, 296, Wolfforth (Frenship), Texas
Who: Kema was a 2023 graduate of Frenship High School that helped the team to deep playoff runs and lots of success. He racked up a lot of honors. He was chosen to the 2022: U.S. Army All-American Bowl, UnderArmour All-American, ESPN Top 300, Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Super-Team (3rd-Team), Texas Football Texas Top 300; 2021: Texas All-State (1st-Team/Sportswriters), All-District 6A-2 (1st-Team/Coaches).
What: He is 6-4, 298-pounds and has played primarily center and guard for the powerful Frenship program. Watching him play, he is a leader on the offensive line and is capable of doing about anything. He is bull run blocker but also has the quickness and punch to pass protect. He is a wrestler in high school, which has served him well in leverage and being quick and balanced on his feet. That may be the most fun thing to watch with Kema is his ability to block on the run and pull down the line of scrimmage even from the center position.
Why: Oklahoma State needs plenty of help on the offensive line. He’ll have catching up to do, but his maturity and his desire will help him do that rapidly.
How: Oklahoma State offensive line coach Charlie Dickey and recruiting analyst Zach Allen did the bulk of the recruiting. Kema’s father is a college coach and appreciated how his son was recruited. He also considered: Kansas, Texas A&M, Nebraska, Air Force, Army, Arizona, Arizona State, BYU, California, UConn, Hawaii, Houston, Illinois, Louisiana Tech, Navy, New Mexico, SMU, Texas State, Texas Tech, Troy, Utah State, Virginia, Wisconsin.
