OSU football recruiting update

In addition to overseeing the defense, Young coached the defensive line. Defensive ends Naim Mustafaa and Sam Wren enrolled at semester, and tackles Vincent Taylor and Ben Hughes remain committed to OSU.

Mustafaa's enrollment was announced Monday. The Georgia native comes from a family of athletes, including his father, Najee, who played seven seasons in the NFL and was a teammate of Spencer's at Georgia Tech.

"Naim is a big-time defensive end who can rush the passer and is very athletic," Spencer said in a news release. "He has a very high motor and is a competitor. He uses his hands very well. He is a quiet person by nature, but he turns it up when he's on the field."

Familiar name: Class of 2014 quarterback Bear Fenimore is among those invited to OSU's upcoming Junior Day. A 6-foot-1, 224-pound prospect from Austin (Texas) Westwood, Fenimore doesn't have a major-college offer but is drawing interest from Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M and others, according to Rivals.com.

Fenimore, who attended last season's win against TCU in Stillwater, was asked on Twitter last week whether he is related to former Cowboy legend Bob Fenimore, the program's first All-American.

"For the Oklahoma State fans, research has confirmed that I am related to Bob Fenimore," he responded. "We are distant cousins."

Signing day countdown

OSU has received verbal commitments from 20 players, and among those are two junior-college transfers who have signed. Additionally, Mustafaa has enrolled.

The remaining commitments are non-binding. Recruits can sign a letter of intent starting Feb. 6.

Position watch: Running back

With Joseph Randle announcing he will declare early for the NFL Draft, OSU could be on the prowl for another running back for the Class of 2013. No. 2 back Jeremy Smith will be a senior next year, and the Cowboys also have Desmond Roland, a junior-to-be, and Caleb Muncrief, a sophomore, on the roster.

The only running back who has pledged to OSU for 2013 is Corion Webster, a 5-11, 190-pound prospect from Atlanta, Texas. After Randle's announcement, coaches went after Houston Cypress Ridge tailback Rennie Childs, extending a scholarship offer Thursday, according to GoPokes.com.
