Position Preview: Quarterbacks
August 13, 2017 | Cowboy Football
Senior Mason Rudolph has quarterbacked OSU to a 22-6 career record as a starter and has led the Cowboys to eight victories in games in which they trailed during the second half. He enters the 2017 season ranked in the top six among active FBS players in career passing yards (third), career passing yards per game (second), career passing yards per attempt (second), career pass efficiency (third) and career touchdown-to-interception ratio (sixth).
Rudolph led all FBS quarterbacks returning in 2017 in both interception avoidance and touchdown-to-interception ratio in 2016. He was tabbed as the No. 1 senior quarterback in college football heading into the 2017 season by Mel Kiper. Already the owner of no fewer than 11 school records, he is in position to set OSU career records for pass attempts, pass completions, passing yards and passing touchdowns in the 2017 season and he also has a very real chance to finish his career as the most efficient passer in Oklahoma State history.
Rudolph has earned a spot on the 2017 Heisman Trophy radar screen, but the rest of OSU's QB story is yet to be written. Junior Taylor Cornelius served as the primary backup last season, with redshirt freshman Keondre Wudtee developing in the wings. Entering fall camp, it remains to be seen which of the two will earn the inside track on the position for when Rudolph graduates after the season.
