Oklahoma State QB commit Carson White and tight end target Titus Hawk both took official visits to Oklahoma State. Both took pictures wearing Cowboys football and baseball uniforms - could they be dual-sport athletes?
STILLWATER, Okla. — Oklahoma State football continued to build momentum under head coach Eric Morris this spring when 2027 quarterback commit Carson White and top tight end target Titus Hawk made their official visits to Stillwater.
Both prospects, who rank among the state’s and nation’s elite, shared photos from the weekend that captured more than just football excitement.
White and Hawk posed in Oklahoma State football uniforms and, notably, in Cowboys baseball gear at O’Brate Stadium, clear signals of their ambitions to become dual-sport athletes for the Pokes.
Carson White, the 6’2, 207 pound dual-threat quarterback from Iowa Colony (Texas) High School, became OSU’s first commitment in the 2027 class on April 4. A consensus three-star and top 30 national quarterback prospect, White earned All-American honors and participated in the Navy All-American Bowl.
On the field, he has been electric. As a junior in 2025, he led Iowa Colony to a 12-2 record and the Texas 5A Division II quarterfinals, completing 114 of 181 passes (63 percent) for 1,963 yards with 32 touchdowns and just six interceptions. He also rushed 115 times for 678 yards and 15 scores while handling punting duties.
His sophomore campaign was equally impressive. He earned Texas District 9-5A D-II Offensive MVP honors after throwing for 1,871 yards and 30 touchdowns while adding 832 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns. Career totals exceed 5,400 passing yards and 79 total touchdowns.
Beyond football, White is a legitimate baseball prospect with Division I offers, including from Oregon and Tennessee. A standout center fielder who also runs a 10.85-second 100-meter dash, his athleticism and baseball pedigree make him a rare two way talent. Morris and offensive coordinator Sean Brophy, known for developing dynamic quarterbacks, see White as the perfect fit for their system and potentially for the diamond as well.
Titus Hawk, a 6’7, 210 pound tight end from Choctaw (Oklahoma) High School, is a four-star prospect and one of the top tight ends in the 2027 class nationally.
The local product has offers from powerhouse programs and has already made his mark.
As a sophomore, he recorded 20 receptions for 365 yards and seven touchdowns while helping Choctaw to strong playoff runs (including state title contention).
Coaches rave about his frame, ball skills, and versatility as he’s lined up at tight end, H-back, and even contributed on defense and special teams. Hawk also plays basketball and is a legitimate baseball prospect, posting elite metrics such as a 97.7 mph exit velocity and strong infield velocity as a 1B/3B/OF.
Hawk’s father, Shane Hawk, played baseball at Oklahoma State in the early 2000s before being drafted in the fourth round by the New York Mets, adding a family legacy to any potential commitment.
Like White, Hawk has openly expressed his desire to compete in both football and baseball at the collegiate level. Their shared photoshoot in OSU’s football and baseball uniforms during the visit shows that potential
Oklahoma State has a rich history of successful dual-sport athletes in football and baseball.
Josh Fields starred as the Cowboys’ quarterback from 2001-03, setting school records with 55 career touchdown passes, while also excelling at third base, batting .364 with power and earning All-Big 12 honors before moving on to professional baseball with the Chicago White Sox.
Earlier legends like Allie Reynolds also balanced football and baseball for the Pokes. These players show OSU’s willingness to support two way athletes when the talent aligns.
Across Power 4 conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, SEC), dual sport football & baseball athletes exist but remain uncommon.
While high school multi-sport participation is widespread,87 percent of Division I athletes played multiple sports growing up, college schedules, NCAA hour limits, and the path to professional opportunities usually force specialization.
Most prospects pick one sport by their sophomore or junior year in college. Yet programs like Oklahoma State, with overlapping fall and spring calendars for football and baseball, occasionally make dual participation work for elite athletes.
For White, already committed, the visit reinforced his decision. For Hawk, still weighing options, the trip highlighted OSU’s unique appeal as a place that could nurture both his football play and diamond potential.
Should the Cowboys land Hawk alongside White, Morris would secure two foundational pieces for the 2027 class who could impact both football and baseball programs for the next few years.
