3. Oklahoma State Cowboys

The Oklahoma State Cowboys come into this season devoid of their three best offensive players from last season. Wide receivers Tylan Wallace and Dillon Stoner are gone as well as running back Chuba Hubbard.

Wide receivers Davontavean Martin and Braydon Johnson are the Cowboys’ two most experienced wide receivers coming into this season with 42 combined receptions. However, Oklahoma State needs to figure out how to replace Tylan Wallace’s production and what he brought in the big play department.

The Cowboys run game should be fine with LD Brown, Dezmon Jackson, and the quarterback run game with Spencer Sanders. Without Stoner and Wallace, however, where are the chunk plays coming from?

Enter twin brothers Bryson Green and Blain Greene. The bloodlines are their; older brother Seth plays for the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Despite being twins, each brother brings something different to the receiver room.

Both brothers have plug and play size (Bryson is 6-foot and 205 pounds; Blaine is 6-foot-1 and 204 pounds). Bryson is the more physical of the two receivers and the better blocker. Bryson is the chain mover who gets six yards on third-and-four. He is the better, more polished route runner.

Blaine has better straight line and top-end speed. Though not as polished or physical. Blaine can take the top off the defense and give plus value as a returner and sub-package (jet sweep, wide receiver screen) player.
