Wendell Gregory Named Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Semifinalist
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State has one of the best freshmen in the country on the defensive side of the ball. On Wednesday, it was announced Wendell Gregory is one of 14 semifinalists for the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Award.
He’s one of just two players from the Big 12, join BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier, and is the only Big 12 defensive player on the list.
Gregory has been one of the best defensive freshmen in the country. Through nine games, he leads all FBS freshmen with 10.5 tackles for loss, which also leads the Cowboys. He also leads the team with 3.0 sacks and four quarterback hurries.
He’s also recorded 24 total tackles, one pass break up and one forced fumble.
Gregory has a chance to add to those numbers as the Cowboys host Kansas State next weekend for an 11 a.m. kick.
