STILLWATER - College football officially returns to the Oklahoma State campus on Thursday when 105 players are scheduled to report to Boone Pickens Stadium for the beginning of fall camp.
The student-athletes, who have a mid-day arrival time, face a day of paper work, meetings and orientations before the Cowboys hit the practice fields for the first time on Friday morning.
It should an interesting fall camp as OSU looks to replace 16 starters, including three who were named first-team All-America at some point during their careers.
"I've never entered a year with so many new people in critical positions," said sixth-year head coach Mike Gundy. "But we have good young players in the program who will need to contribute early. It also helps that we people in the program that have been part of teams that have won a lot of games."
OSU is coming off consecutive 9-4 seasons, including an appearance in the AT&T Cotton Bowl in January. OSU was a school-best 6-2 in the Big 12 last season, finishing second to Texas in the South division.
