Signing Day 2011 had a different vibe for OSU

OSU's prep signees will be given an opportunity to play early, and several Texans, including standout running backs Herschel Sims of Abilene and Desmond Roland of Dallas, defensive lineman James Castleman of Amarillo and linebacker Lyndell Johnson of Plano might make an impact this fall.

Receivers David Glidden of Mustang, Isaac McCoy of Alma, Ark., and Josh Stewart of Denton, Texas, will arrive on campus in the summer and provide needed depth to the Cowboys receiving corps. They could play themselves out of redshirt seasons.
