The Oklahoma State Cowboys have been a force in the transfer portal this season but were recently hit with a bit of their own medicine. The Pokes lost Garret Rangel and Maealiuaki Smith to the portal, leaving O-State with only two quarterbacks on the depth chart for the 2025 season. They looked to add another quarterback and may have found the perfect fit in former University of Tulsa freshman quarterback Banks Bowen.

The 6-foot-3, 208-pound quarterback from Lawrence, Kansas, entered the portal with four years of eligibility still left on his resume. As a three-star senior in high school, he threw for 2,368 yards, 23 TDs, and 6 INTs on 174-for-280 passing (.621). Banks ran for 860 yards and 9 TDs on 7.4 yards per carry. Also punted, averaging 40.6 yards across 14 boots, including a long of 54 yards.
Bowen is no stranger to the Cowboy football program. His father and former coach, Clint Bowen is currently a coach on staff for Oklahoma State. Banks recently said down with Ok State on SI to talk about his recent offer from the Pokes…
