Malik Charles Gives Oklahoma State More Size at Defensive End
STILLWATER – We told you Oklahoma State has been outbid on some of the transfer portal prospects that they’ve brought in. The staff had close to 800 prospects evaluated and ready to move on, so there is strength in numbers and finding good players that other schools don’t. The staff is hoping West Georgia defensive end Malik Charles is one of those. However, Charles’ offers included Texas Tech, Arizona State, Nebraska, Georgia Tech, California, Texas A&M, and Mississippi State.

Malik Charles
The 6-5, 255 pound Charles was on on a vist at Oklahoma State from Sunday afternoon until Monday afternoon. The visit included full tour and meeting with the coaches. He met with head coach Mike Gundy and also did the photo shoot as well.
Charlies is a big defensive end but is athletic. Last season at West Georgia, he was part of a defense that limited opposing offenses to 364.8-yards per game total offense and 140.9-yards rushing with an average of just 3.5-yards per carry. Charles played all 11 games and had 33 tackles, 21 unassisted tackles, 10 tackles-for-loss (57-yds.) and seven sacks (50-yds. lost). He had two passes deflected and three quarterback hurries.
He played at Northern Arizona as a freshman and played in 11 games with four total tackles and a tackle-for-loss.
Charles came out high school from the Arizona Compass Prep Academy, where he played football, basketball, and volleyball.
He has three years to play two seasons and he will be at the defensive end position with new coach Ryan Osborn.
