Oklahoma State Lands Commitment From James Madison Transfer Ayo Adeyi
STILLWATER – Eric Morris and Co. have added another running back out of the transfer portal in Ayo Adeyi from James Madison.
Adeyi, who took an official visit to Stillwater this past weekend, made the announcement on his Instagram.
Originally out of Mansfield (TX) Legacy, Adeyi spent the past two seasons with the Dukes after transferring from North Texas ahead of the 2024 season.
He suffered a season-ending injury two games into the 2024 season, receiving a medical redshirt after having 20 carries for yards and one touchdown.
This past season, he played in four regular season games and two postseason games, retaining his redshirt. He finished the season with 24 carries for 120 yards.
But his 2023 season at North Texas was spectacular. He finished the year with 143 carries for 1,017 yards and six touchdowns, averaging just over seven yards per carry. He finished ranked fourth nationally and led the American in yards per rush.
As a sophomore in 2022, Adeyi rushed for 807 yards and four touchdowns on 112 carries and was a member of the Conference USA All-Freshman Team in 2021 with 84 carries for 496 yards and six touchdowns.
Adeyi began his career at D2 Harding in Arkansas in 2020, but never played due to COVID.
The former Mean Green back reunites with several of his former coaches and is now the 15th overall commitment out of the transfer portal.
