Oklahoma State has added some size to its receiver group, gaining a commitment from Division II transfer Cam Abshire on Wednesday.
The 6-foot-4, 185-pound Abshire is the second portal addition for the Cowboys this week, a day after the commitment of Georgia State running back Freddie Brock.
Abshire, who had a 1,000-yard season as a redshirt sophomore at Emory and Henry last fall, committed during a campus visit Wednesday, according to multiple reports.
Abshire is originally from Northside High School in Roanoke, Virginia. He redshirted in 2022 at Emory and Henry, which is located in Emory, Virginia. As a freshman, he had 661 yards and six touchdowns on 38 catches.
He followed that up with a sophomore season of 1,057 yards and 13 touchdowns on 51 catches.
Abshire enters a receiver room with a lot of bodies, but not a lot of height. His addition makes 14 receivers on the roster, only four of whom are 6-foot-2 or taller. None are as tall as Abshire’s listed height of 6-4.
One of the team’s most productive tall wideouts, redshirt junior Talyn Shettron, sustained an undisclosed injury this spring, though coach Mike Gundy did not speculate about the long-term impact of the injury.
