Another morning, another portal post to start the day.
The latest to see a personnel loss is Oklahoma State, with Blake Barron announcing on Twitter earlier this week that he has decided to leave the OSU football program. Said Barron, “This has been the hardest decision I’ve had to make in my life.”
“I am forever grateful for the [life-changing] opportunity that the OSU football program has provided for me,” Barron wrote, adding, “Thank you Oklahoma State for everything, I wish the university and football program nothing but the best.”
The redshirt freshman linebacker gave no specific reason for his departure, saying only that he feels it’s in his “best interest.”

While OSU has yet to publicly address Barron’s departure, his bio is no longer available of the program’s official website.
The Rockwall, Tex., native was a three-star member of the Cowboys’ 2018 recruiting class. A knee injury Barron sustained prior to the 2018 season kicking off sidelined for the entire year. This season, a healthy Barron hadn’t seen the field at all.
