Gunnar Gundy’s Potential Return to Oklahoma State Sparked by Social Media Interaction
Quarterback Gunnar Gundy, after spending his initial three seasons at Oklahoma State University, has opted to transfer from the institution. Notably, his father, also the head coach at the university, couldn’t retain him on campus. However, recent social media activity suggests a possibility of his return, instigated by an unexpected source.
A tweet from an Oklahoma State social media account featuring a viral post of Cowgirl pole vaulter Sarah Stair garnered attention. The post, captioned “Newest Stillwater Star,” accompanied by a photo of Stair, caught Gundy’s eye. In response, Gundy humorously expressed his intentions of returning to his alma mater with a retweet stating, “I’m coming back.”

Stair, who transferred from West Virginia to Oklahoma State, concluded her inaugural season with the Cowboys in 2023. She notably secured a 10th place finish in outdoor competition at the Big 12 Championships, as detailed in her athletics bio.
While Gundy’s tenure at Oklahoma State saw limited playing time, amassing 449 yards, four touchdowns, and four interceptions primarily in a backup role, his departure to Alabama for the upcoming season has been confirmed. Despite his commitment to the Crimson Tide, he has yet to debut for the team.
