Oklahoma State Adds North Texas' Wyatt Young from Portal
Denton Pipeline Continues as Mean Green's top receiver joins Mestemaker, Hawkins in Stillwater
The Denton-based trifecta is complete.
North Texas’ top wide receiver, Wyatt Young committed to Oklahoma State on Sunday evening, as first reported by On3’s Hayes Fawcett. He will join head coach Eric Morris, quarterback Drew Mestemaker, running back Caleb Hawkins and five other former Mean Green delegates in Stillwater for the 2026 season.
As a sophomore in 2025, the 6-foot, 195-pound Young led the AAC in receiving yards with 1,264, to go with 10 touchdowns on 70 receptions, earning him First Team All-Conference honors. His top performance came Nov. 22 against Rice, where he totaled 29 yards and two touchdowns on eight receptions.

What Young's commitment means for the Cowboys
Young becomes OSU’s second wide receiver pledge out of the portal, joining sophomore Miles Coleman. As of Sunday, the lone carryover from OSU’s 2025 receiver room is senior Gavin Freeman. The Cowboys do have visits scheduled for UAB standout Iverson Hooks, Akron’s Israel Polk and Kent State’s Cade Wolford. Of course, more are likely to be scheduled in the near future, so it's not as if OSU won't have a full receiver room come next season.
However, Young’s pledge gives quarterback Drew Mestemaker a viable threat at receiver. And pending more portal commitments in the coming weeks, it gives the Cowboys a potential No. 1 target.
