It’s time to take a closer look at some of the Oklahoma State commitments: Today, I decided to take a closer look at Justin Gilbert.

Here’s his vitals: Justin Gilbert, 6-0, 173, ATH, Huntsville, Texas, 4.4 speed

Future position: Gilbert is expected to line up at cornerback for the Cowboys.

Analysis: Gilbert is a special player, one of the top commits for OSU’s recruiting class of 2010. A look at Gilbert on film shows a player with great explosiveness, quickness and excellent feet. It’s easy to see why the Pokes would want him at corner. And I could see him developing into a Perrish Cox-type kick returner also. The one concern about Gilbert is his size. He’s going to have to get in the weight room and make sure he can handle the pounding of Big 12 football. That said I would expect him to have a impact as a freshman on special teams.
