STILLWATER – Oklahoma State edge rusher Wendell Gregory has been added to the watch list for the Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Award, announced Thursday by the Maxwell Football Club.
He joins OSU running back Rodney Fields Jr., who was included in the preseason, on the watch list for the honor given to the most outstanding freshman player in college football.
A redshirt freshman who transferred from South Carolina this year, Gregory has lit up the stat sheet and leads the team with 9.5 tackles for loss, 3.0 sacks and four quarterback hurries. He's also added 21 total tackles, a pass breakup and a forced fumble.
The Shaun Alexander Freshman of the Year Award has been presented to the College Freshman Player of the Year since 2018 and is named in honor of Shaun Alexander, a former standout at the University of Alabama and the 2005 NFL MVP with the Seattle Seahawks.
The award will be presented at the Maxwell Football Club Awards gala, along with several of the other top awards in college and professional football.
