The Allen High School product had offers from Auburn, Baylor, Colorado, Duke, Michigan State, Minnesota, Mississippi State, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ole Miss, TCU, Texas Tech, Utah, Virginia Tech, Washington and Washington State before committing and then ultimately signing with Oklahoma State. In addition, his twin brother and fellow former Allen wideout Blaine Green is also a part of OSU’s 2021 class. The Green twins aren’t the first in their family to make it to the Power Five level either, as their brother Seth Green currently plays for Minnesota, which is also where their father Bryan spent his college playing days.
Ollie Gordon ended the high school careers of Cowboy signees Bryson and Blaine Green, and now the Cowboys are after him.
Gordon announced an Oklahoma State offer Sunday afternoon. Gordon is a running back from Trinity High in Euless, Texas.

Who Is He?
Gordon played the Green twins in the regional round of the Texas 6A-1 playoffs, where Gordon had a ridiculous 50 rushes for 460 yards and six touchdowns.
Gordon’s Trinity squad won that game 49-45 before falling in the quarterfinal round of the playoffs.
Former four-star prospect Dee Anderson joined Oklahoma State last season as a transfer, and that’s how he’s leaving the school, too.
Cody Nagel, of 247Sports, reported Monday morning that Anderson has entered the transfer portal, an apparent end to a Cowboy career that never quite clicked.
Anderson caught just one pass for 14 total yards this season after his highly anticipated arrival, which came in a 47-7 blowout win over Kansas in October. It was the only stat he recorded on the season.
Anderson was classified as a redshirt senior, but because of NCAA transfer rules exclusive to the pandemic, he can find another school and have one final year of eligibility, though he redshirted in 2019 at LSU prior to his joining OSU.
With a few late moves, the Cowboys have climbed up to third in the Big 12 in 2021 recruiting rankings.
Oklahoma State signed 21 prospects on Wednesday, the first day of the early signing period. Shortly after all the letters of intent came in, Mike Gundy met with reporters via Zoom to discuss his class. Here is what he said.
Opening Statement
“It’s good to get it in, get them all tucked away. We got exactly what we wanted. Seven Oklahoma kids, nine Texas. Huge, huge class for midterm. Bringing players in early is getting very popular. It’s kind of what we’ve done here for the years past. We would like to concentrate on Oklahoma and Texas and surrounding states. This will put us at the number of 85, which is what we need to be at as we move forward through the summer.”
