But landing him won’t be easy, as Missouri’s Eli Drinkwitz is also competing directly for the player’s commitment.

Wendell Gregory, a standout freshman linebacker from Oklahoma State, emerged as one of the Cowboys’ most impactful defenders during the 2025 season, recording 27 total tackles, four sacks, and one forced fumble.
