Foster considering walking on at OSU

By Scott Wright

The door isn’t completely closed on the possibility of Guthrie star athlete Donte’ Foster playing football at Oklahoma State.

I traded text messages with the 6-foot-2, 180-pound football and basketball standout Thursday afternoon and he said he is being pursued as an invited walk-on for the Cowboys.

Guthrie coach Rafe Watkins told multiple Web sites that Foster-to-OSU was a done deal, but Foster says it’s not 100 percent just yet.

“It’s a possibility,” he said. “I’ve talked it over with them and they said it would be a great idea, so there’s a chance I may do that. It’s not written in stone quite yet though.”

Foster got some interest from OSU just before signing day, but never received a scholarship offer. At that time, the Cowboys needed more help in the secondary and were considering Foster as a safety prospect.

But with some attrition at receiver, OSU has come back around to Foster on the offensive side of the ball.

The Cowboys may have balked at offering Foster a scholarship because they had not hosted him in camp, and thus, did not get the chance to see his ability up-close.
