Feel good, Cowboys fans, that Joseph Randle wears orange (or black or gray, whichever it may be) tonight, and not purple.
A star running back out of Wichita, Kansas, Randle might have made Manhattan home. Kansas State coaches made their case and had Randle’s attention.
“They definitely were a serious contender,” Randle said this week. “But I really wanted to come here.”
As always, Randle is a key figure when Oklahoma State takes on K-State in the first-ever meeting featuring both as ranked teams. And don’t be surprised if Randle has a little extra giddyup due to the matchup.
“Yeah, because you know the players on that team,” Randle said. “I know players on that team personally. When I go home, we still hang out and go bowling and stuff like that. It’s going to be special.”
There’s a Wichita connection at play in this game, with Randle on one side and Arthur and Bryce Brown, Tyson Hartman, Chris Harper, Anthony and Jack Cantele, DeMarcus Robinson,Dorrian Roberts and Matthew Pearson all from Wichita.
“A lot of those guys, they come back to Wichita and hang out,” Randle said. “Yeah, it’s going to be special.”
