Oklahoma State Lands Former TCU Quarterback Hauss Hejny Out of Transfer Portal

December 29, 2024
6,334

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State is getting its quarterback out of the transfer portal after all as former TCU quarterback, Hauss Hejny, has signed with the Cowboys, Pokes Report can confirm.

Hauss Hejny, pronounced Hoss HAY-nee, checks in at 6-0, 190 pounds, and is originally out of Aledo (TX) HS in the 2024 class. He was a four-star quarterback coming out of high school, ranked as a consensus top 300 prospect, as well as a top 20 quarterback prospect.

He chose TCU over offers from Baylor, Duke, Houston, Nebraska, Oklahoma State (offered in Feb. 2023), Ole Miss, Utah and West Virginia among others.

Later on Sunday (Dec. 29) Pokes Report caught up and spoke with the new Cowboy quarterback.

As expected from a true freshman, Hejny redshirted this past season for the Horned Frogs, playing in four games. While he didn’t attempt a pass, he did have 15 carries for 65 yards. 

USA TODAY Sports
Hejny at Aledo High School was a 4-star recruit.

Going back to his senior season with Aledo, Hejny completed 154-of233 passes for 2,773 yards and 27 touchdown passes to nine interceptions. While he was an accomplished passer, Hejny was very good on his feet as he had 127 carries for 1,041 yards and 13 touchdowns.

So, Mike Gundy has added a quarterback with the exact abilities he was wanting: a decent arm and can run.

He also has a relationship with OSU offensive coordinator, Doug Meacham, as both were at TCU together last season. So, there’s familiarity, as well as with new quarterbacks coach, Kevin Johns, who was at Duke as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach while recruiting Hejny. 

Both of his parents were athletes at TCU, his mom JimAnne was a basketball player and long jumper and his dad, Jesse, played football after transferring in from a California JUCO.

Hejny comes to Stillwater as a redshirt freshman, joining quarterbacks Zane Flores, Garret Rangel and Maealiuaki Smith, who will all be battling for the starting job next fall come spring football.

Has to have a good arm. We don't need another Spencer Sanders. Losing big games because the defense shuts down the run. Looks to be a good pick up. Go Pokes!

hmmm... we now have 4 identical QBs, all about the same class.... I'm not going to say the "P" word, but Spring Drills should be very interesting, not just in Pokeville, but throughout the NCAA landscape.

Will Rangel/Flores be available for spring practices?

I believe Zane will be but not totally sure on Garret as it was a much worse break than what they first thought. I'll talk with Robert on what he thinks and update this.

Let me correct you. YOU don't need another Spencer Sanders. I'll take another right now in exchange for any 2 QBs on our roster.

Agree 100%. Spencer played behind Dickey's horrible O-lines (bad pass protection those years) & was always running for his life. He deserved better. He had great RBs, & he was accurate when he had protection & was great off the scramble. I'd take Spencer back in a heartbeat. Hate that he left the way he did, but that's life.

Spencer's legacy was due to absolutely horrific o-lines under Dickey. Pass blocking those days was horrific, despite great RBs to push the ball around to.

Those O lines had nothing to do with his decision making and a lot of questionable throws that resulted in INTERCEPTIONS! We saw as much or more with a pocket passer as well the last two years!!! Robert and others were high on Rattay as a QB Coach but I was never all that impressed and thought Yurcich and Monken were much better QB coaches!!! Let's see how the new QB whisperer Coach John's does with this group!

Sanders was a good QB until he got behind. Then he would force the ball trying to make a play when there wasn't one. That resulted in more interceptions than TD's.

I expect at least one of the returning three QB's will be in the portal post Spring practice.

Based on his HS highlights and limited play with TCU, I believe Hejny will be a much better runner than the other QB's on the roster. Might make for an interesting contrast. Totally agree about an interesting spring.

Not if he emerges as the first choice coming out of the spring period, we haven't even gotten to that point yet!

Any player, including one of the QBs, who go in the portal can be replaced by another in the portal. No one is in control with any of this mess. A true dumpster fire until some structure is in place like in other pro sports.

Without playing a down and already knowing the offense, you expect Flores to transfer without even competing for the job? That makes no sense. We needed a 4th QB with the roster size cuts and walkons largely eliminated now. May the best man win and the others be ready as they're only a play or two away from being in the game.

Also as Zach pointed out up thread, Flores is likely but not sure and Rangel is doubtful for spring ball. We didn't get a QB in the Freshmen class, and we lost our walk-on due to the roster cuts. So with only 1 QB for sure available in the spring we needed to sign someone.

The staff got the best QB currently on the board. There could be a log jam at some point and it will have to sort itself out. We needed a 4th QB, and it looks like we got a good young one. Let's enjoy the fact we're in better shape now and let the future figure itself out.

FYI - Sanders was 31-8 as the starter - that's better than a 10-3 season clip. He engineered several comebacks (OU, ND , UT - remember those) and wasn't able to get it done on a few because of mistakes. But overall, I'd take that right now and not complain one bit.

When he didn't force the ball into coverage he was very good.

Yes Sanders was a fantastic QB for OSU. He wasn't perfect, but that's a pretty small group.

Agree. That applies to nearly every very good QB.

And the same thing with Cornelius. There were a lot of people complaining about him, but he threw for nearly 4,000 yards with a team that wasn't very good, especially the line and the defense.

I guess you missed the ending In 2022, unfortunately it wasn't a happy one! Bowman also Quarterbacked us into the championship game as well in 2023 and led OSU to a ten win season INCLUDING A WIN OVER OU and I give him props for that but it also didn't end very well for him!!!

By the way he, Cproc7, was talking about the idiotic comment made by a poster above who said bringing in Hejny would cause Flores to hit the portal , WE HAVENT EVEN MADE THROUGH THE SPRING SESSION, WHY WOULD HE LEAVE IF HE EMERGES AS A LEADER TO START NEXT SEASON!!!

Fair question. Safe to say Hejny will leave if he doesn't. It'll be the exact scenario and reason he left Tcu

why is it safe to say that, it doesn't even make sense at the moment.

The 2025 QB will not be decided during Spring Drills, so why would either QB hit the Spring portal with Summer and Fall Camp still available to earn a starting role (for either).

At that point, after the Spring portal, they are locked in for the remainder of the 2025 season, correct?

We won't know much of anything until after about the 4th game to see if one of them tries to redshirt (if any have a RS year left). At that point, they all would have burned another year of eligibility anyway.

None of the 4 QB's will have a redshirt year after this year. Henjy and Smith were both true freshmen this year, Flores redshirted last year and Rangel was a RSoph this year.

Question? Smith played in 4 games, since he played, he doesn't have to take 2024 as a red-shirt year, does he?

(not that he wouldn't, I was just asking..... for a friend)

Since he only played in 4 games it counts as his redshirt year. I checked previously with Robert.
