Devastating Blow for Oklahoma State: Collin Oliver Sidelined with Foot Injury.
The Oklahoma State Cowboys suffered a major setback this past weekend, as standout linebacker Collin Oliver was injured during their double overtime victory against Arkansas.
In the aftermath of the thrilling win, head coach Mike Gundy delivered the concerning news that Oliver could be out for the remainder of the 2024 season.
“I think that he’s done for the year,” Gundy said. “They thought that he might have had maybe a fracture or a crack or something.”
Further details emerged on Monday, with Gundy clarifying that Oliver will miss a “considerable number” of games.
“It’s going to be a while,” Gundy stated. “There wouldn’t be anything to update for at least a month or so.”
This is a devastating blow for the Cowboys, as Oliver has been a stalwart on their defense since arriving on campus in 2021. The talented linebacker has never missed a game, making his absence all the more impactful.
Oliver has been a key cog in the Oklahoma State machine, using his instincts, physicality, and playmaking ability to terrorize opposing offenses. His presence on the field has been instrumental in the Cowboys’ success, and his absence will undoubtedly be felt as they navigate the remainder of the season.
The timeline for Oliver’s recovery remains uncertain, but Gundy’s comments suggest it could be an extended absence. This news will undoubtedly be a major setback for the Cowboys, who will need to find a way to adapt and overcome this challenge without their star linebacker.
Fans and teammates alike will be eagerly awaiting updates on Oliver’s progress, hoping for a speedy recovery and a potential return to the field before the season’s end. In the meantime, the Cowboys will need to rally together and find a way to navigate this adversity, as they look to maintain their momentum and compete at the highest level without their defensive leader.
