Oklahoma State added size and versatility to its 2027 recruiting class with commitments from offensive linemen Sonny Mullen and Chase Campbell. The pair become the first offensive line pledges in the class as Eric Morris continues building the future of the Cowboys' offense.
Do you like Eric Morris prioritizing offense in recruiting?
A big day in the trenches as Eric Morris and his staff landed two offensive linemen for Oklahoma State's 2027 recruiting class: Chase Campbell out of Mount Carmel in Chicago and Sonny Mullen from Temple, Texas.
Both prospects add size and potential depth to the future of Oklahoma State's offense, becoming the first offensive line commitments in the Cowboys' 2027 class.
Mullen flipped his commitment from Houston and announced his decision on social media, saying he was always meant to be a Cowboy. The three-star tackle took an official visit to Stillwater this weekend and apparently saw enough to make his decision.
The 6-foot-6, 280-pound lineman held offers from programs across the Big 12, including Baylor, Kansas State and TCU. He is rated just outside the top 100 offensive line prospects nationally and among the top 165 overall players in the talent-rich state of Texas.
Campbell, another three-star prospect, brings versatility to the class. The 6-foot-4, 260-pound lineman spent time at both tackle and guard during his junior season at Chicago power Mount Carmel. His ability to play multiple positions could prove valuable as he continues to develop at the next level.
Campbell's athleticism extends beyond football. He is also a standout baseball player and has made an impact on special teams, traits that often translate well to offensive line play because of the footwork, balance and overall athletic ability required.
While offensive line commitments rarely generate the same excitement as quarterbacks or skill-position players, they are often the foundation of successful recruiting classes. Morris' offensive system is built around tempo and putting pressure on defenses, but none of that works without protection up front.
The additions of Mullen and Campbell signal that Oklahoma State is making the trenches a priority early in the 2027 cycle. Building offensive line depth takes time, and landing two prospects before many programs have even established their classes is an encouraging sign for the future.
The Cowboys now have five commitments in the 2027 class, all on the offensive side of the ball. That trend continues to highlight where Morris and his staff are focusing their attention as they build the foundation of the program for years to come.
For Oklahoma State fans, the headline may not be the star ratings. It may be the fact that the Cowboys are investing in the position group that often determines how far an offense can go.
