With recruiting season in full swing, I will be evaluating all 26 prospects who are currently committed to the Oklahoma State football program. I will go in alphabetical order and will post three or four evaluations per day during the next week.

My evaluations will conclude next Friday when I rank OSU’s commitments including their chances of having an immediate impact in Stillwater.

Nathan Sorenson, Texarkana (Texas) Texas High

Position: Quarterback

Ht, Wt: 6-3, 200

Vitals: 4.5 in 40, 34-inch vertical

Picked OSU over… TCU

Pros: Sorenson is a special, unique talent. He is a passer who can run —  not a runner who can pass —  which is unusual and difficult to find. Very athletic and a winner. Very good passing skills and solid running skills. Has the potential to be a special player and multi-year starter for OSU.

Cons: It will take a while for him to get used to college football and could use a redshirt year to get comfortable but the Cowboys may not have that luxury.

Expect an impact in… late 2010 or early 2011. It all depends on how quickly he gets familiar with the offense, Sorenson has the physical tools. It will be hard to keep him off the field once he gets comfortable in OSU’s system.
