As the only player on this list that has not played a single game in an Oklahoma State uniform, wide receiver Tyron Johnson committed to play for head coach Mike Gundy back in August 2016. Johnson originally committed to LSU to play for former OK State head coach Les Miles. Yet, the amount of talent that Johnson brings to Stillwater this fall is unquestioned.

Johnson was the No. 3 overall wide receiver in the 2015 recruiting class. He is, by far, the highest profile recruit/transfer coming to Stillwater this fall. Moreover, as you will see on the rest of this list, Johnson just adds another weapon to Oklahoma State’s incredibly deep receiving corps.

The thought of having Johnson and James Washington on the field at the same time should make Oklahoma State fans salivate. If nothing else, Johnson just gives Mason Rudolph another weapon to work with.

Johnson has only caught nine passes in his college football career. During his freshman campaign in 2015 with LSU he caught nine passes for 150 yards and two touchdowns. Those numbers should shoot up pretty drastically this season.
