Players on Scout’s 300 interested in Oklahoma State

Never too early for some recruiting buzz, right?

Scout updated its top 300 prospects for 2013 Wednesday. At this point, most of these players have several schools they are interested in, but below are the ones who list Oklahoma State. It gives an early group of high school players to keep an eye on.

Couple observations:
*Three of these prospects are from Arizona and two are from California. Think those players noticed OSU playing Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl in January?
*Both five-star prospects are safeties. OSU has some youth at that position–no player in the two-deep is a senior–but did not sign any safeties in the 2012 class. That’s definitely a position of need in 2013.
*Offensive coordinator Todd Monken’s connection to Illinois and linebackers coach Glenn Spencer’s connection to Georgia are apparent again. Two prospects are from Georgia and one is from Illinois.
