STILLWATER — The first piece of Oklahoma State football gear Julian Wilson was handed after being hired onto Eric Morris’ coaching staff was a bright orange shirt.
The perfect item for Wilson’s Bedlam transition.

A high school star at Southmoore, Wilson played defensive back at OU before a brief NFL career. Now 34 years old, Wilson has been on the rise in the coaching ranks the last several years.
And he has landed back in his home state, following Morris from North Texas.
“The first shirt I put on was bright orange,” Wilson said with a smile. “That was the first thing they gave me when we came here. I already had my Jordans ready to rock with it.
“It’s good, man. You gotta understand, I’m an Oklahoma kid. I’m from this state. I was born here, raised here. That’s my alma mater. It’s nothing but love there. But now, I’m employed by Oklahoma State, so I’m gonna give the Pokes everything I got.”
