Hometown walk-on with real playmaking juice
Heston Thompson is a Stillwater, Oklahoma native who walked on at Oklahoma State and redshirted in 2024 without seeing game action, but his high-school résumé shows real pop: 79 catches and 19 touchdowns as a junior, plus he played both receiver and defensive back and battled through a senior-year injury. The differentiator here is toughness and versatility — he looks like a gritty, high-effort depth-piece who knows how to win from the slot and in space, with local roots and a developmental ceiling that fits a program looking for competitive, multi-role receivers.
