With Oklahoma State spring football past the halfway point, it’s a great time to take a closer look at the Cowboys roster. During the final days of spring football I complete my position-by-position look at the Pokes.

Star Linebacker

Headliner: Sophomore Shaun Lewis. What more can you say about Lewis? The Big 12′s co-defensive freshman of the year, Lewis was superb in 2010. He brings a combination of quickness, hard hitting and versatility to the position. And he’s one of the most focused and determined players on the squad.

Next in line: Sophomore Joe Mitchell. Last year’s star of the spring, Mitchell seemed poised to make an impact before Lewis forced his way into the starting lineup with his playmaking ability. Mitchell remains one of the most talented defenders on the squad and could find his way into the lineup somewhere as he gets more comfortable in the Cowboy defensive system.
