Willie Nelson brings ball-hawking upside to Oklahoma State's secondary
Willie Nelson is a young Oklahoma State safety with obvious turnover creation ability: at Tyler Junior College in 2025, he posted 61 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 6 interceptions, 10 pass breakups, 3 fumble recoveries and a forced fumble, after starting his college career at Oklahoma State in 2024. He stands out for his instincts, playmaking range and aggressive style, plus he adds some verified athleticism from his track background. If you want a defensive back who can change possession and attack the football, he’s an intriguing fit, though his listed size is on the smaller side for the position.[4][7]
