Ollie Gordon

​Ideal combination of frame and well-distributed mass. Very powerful runner who is very difficult to bring down when he is moving vertically – best chance to stop him is to make him move lateral to the LOS. Drops pads and delivers blows while running the ball. Very good vision. Great burst through the hole. Surprisingly light feet and has an effective jump cut. Very good hands and can snag the off-target pass. Very good long speed and he can bust through pursuit angles. Lacks much experience as a route runner. Needs development in pass protection skills to stay on the field on third down. Led FBS in rushing in 2023 (1,732 yards / 6.1 YPC / 21 TDs). Had a disappointing season in 2024 as Oklahoma State struggled to a 3-9 season and rushed for 880 yards on 190 carries (4.6 YPC) and 13 TDs.
