"All the components I was looking for were there," Okung said. "Early playing time and being part of the next big thing in college football.
"We will be the next big thing and I'm excited about it."
Okung had several offers, but it came down to LSU, Oklahoma and the Cowboys. The talented prospect is projected to play tight end or offensive line for Oklahoma State.
