STILLWATER – Oklahoma State has just landed a commitment from an edge rusher from the SEC. On Thursday, it was announced South Carolina edge rusher, Wendell Gregory, has committed to the Pokes out of the transfer portal. 

Pokes Report has learned Gregory will be in Stillwater this weekend on a visit. Robert Allen spoke with him on Friday evening and he confirmed the commitment and the official visit starting on Friday. It will be quick as he said he will leave on Saturday morning before the scheduled spring game. 

“We gonna turn things up at Oklahoma State,” he told us by phone. “I can’t wait to get there.”

He did say he would do a full interview with us, but wants to wait until he has finished his official visit.

Wendell Gregory

Gregory, originally out of Walton HS and Marietta, GA, checks in at 6-3, 245 pounds, and is coming off a redshirt season with South Carolina. He played in two games before redshirting, playing against Akron and Wofford, recording one tackle against the Zips. 

He was a four-star prospect out of high school in the 2024 class, and an early enrollee at South Carolina, meaning he’s more physically ready for college as he spent the offseason with the Gamecocks before the summer and fall.

He graduated from Walton in December of 2023 after a senior season where he recorded 56 total tackles, 18.0 tackles for loss, seven sacks and 14 quarterback hurries.

Gregory marks the fifth commitment out of the portal for the Pokes, joining Georgia State running back Freddie Brock, Emory and Henry (DII) receiver Cameron Abshire, Marshall wide receiver Christian Fitzpatrick and Appalachian State offensive tackle, Markell Samuel.

Some portal analysts believe Gregory is one of the top edge rushing talents in the transfer portal this cycle.

yawn.... and what "level" is that exactly? certainly your comment is NOT based on his "star" ranking or based on being at a overrated SEC team, instead of being based on the evaluations of the coaches.

if the coaches want them, then THAT IS the level of kid we need to keep up .....


where they heck do fans get off criticizing the work of the coaches based on media nonsense? I just don't understand that shallow mentality..

You are such a clown.

Give me 50 guys like this (based on star rating…gasp) and I guarantee the program will be much better.

that's right big boy, name calling always wins your point...... you really don't have to be that kind of person..

If you disagree, then simply say so., and you CANNOT "guarantee" anything, your opinion is just as worthless as mine, probably worse, because all I said was that I trust the coaches, not the media services.

Be nice. Thanks.

My hope is that since he was such a pup at SCar and didn't play in any meaningful games, he's yet to show his value and he will blossom. From listening to Gundy, the "coaching review" on transfer portal guys is really based a lot on the recruiting staff's data information anymore. And jumping on a guy in the portal early he says restricts old coaching methods of spending much time sorting out prospects by position coaches. So it sounds like the talent/recruiting target staff and then the NIL/Contract staff is about 75% of this process now. Hopefully coaches can trust those staff members and at least get to give meaningful thumbs up/thumbs down input based on some tape and data info. It's a new world.

I guarantee you are a clown. ;-)

You are always on here posting in a passive-aggressive tone anytime someone is excited about a highly rated recruit. Look, you may be correct that nobody really knows how this kid will work out, neither do the coaches you seem to blindly put faith in…which is why the entire staff got canned.

This program has fallen due to lazy recruiting and poor evaluation, so yes, go get me an entire roster full of highly ranked guys and I will gladly take my chances.

But we can certainly disagree.

and disagree with every single one of your ridiculous statements passing blame.

About what I figured from you.

Anyway, I will just ignore your ridiculousness from now on, it gets old but my fault for chiming in.

what gets old is yahoo's always trying to tell other that they are clowns for not agreeing with them. SMH.

We can definitely differ without the name calling, but then that is how YOU CHOSE to "chime in", and be all innocent.

I called you a clown, not because I disagree with you, but rather the continual way you act on this message board with your holier than thou attitude. Go re-read your post above that I initially responded to…the "yawn", the insinuation that he was criticizing the coaches, the "shallow mentality" comment…all because you have a bias against the star system.

Your act wears old.

And please feel free to point me to the mountain of evidence that suggests the star system is so flawed.
Surely, with as arrogant you are in your stance against it, the evidence must be overwhelming.

actually, you're back to the name calling again. I would be happy to address all of your points because there IS mountains of evidence.... but instead, since you won't be civil, I am compelled to put you on ignore.

God Bless and Go Pokes

You can call me big boy and a yahoo but I say you are arrogant and I'm back to name calling?

The evidence strongly supports the opposite of your claim, but I will let you realize that when you do some research.

I won't reply again, so let's leave it as it is. One thing we agree on…Go Pokes!

Thanks PokeSmot for sticking up for me. I do not understand why Rodeo is attacking my excitement over getting a top end recruit but I have a theory.

I was perhaps a little rude to him before so this is probably some payback and that is OK. I am sorry Rodeo if I offended you. Let's all get along.

Yes, I do feel that our recruiting in the past 20 years has been at time really marginal. I see some improvement now on paper and I hope it translates into wins. Rodeo is right though. How do we as fans know what these kids will do once they get here.
