STILLWATER — The Oklahoma State football roster has 28 seniors, most of whom are expected to take part in Senior Day festivities prior to the Cowboys regular-season finale.
OSU hosts Iowa State at 11 a.m. Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium, broadcast on ESPNU.

Exactly half of the 28 seniors were recruited to the team last offseason, and thus, spent just one season at Oklahoma State. But others have been at OSU for a full five — or in the case of Quinton Stewart, six — years.
Here’s a look at the Cowboys’ senior class:
