New Jersey CB commits to Oklahoma State but Bulls continue hot run at receiver while Wayne saga continues
Eddie Fernandez -- 247 Sports USF Insider

Oklahoma State landed a talented corner in three-star cornerback Mark Gray who USF had been targeting all cycle and was in a good position to land the six-foot-one, athletic corner out of Wayne, New Jersey.

Gray's commitment to Oklahoma State was lessened by the news of four-star receiver Marco Mason would be committing to the Bulls. Mason is listed at six-foot-two and 221 pounds and gives USF their fourth receiver in the class, not counting five-star athlete Trey Davis. The other four are all four-stars in Joel Green, Scott Kimbrough and Mike Holmes.

Holmes is a straight speedster with 4.36 speed while Green and Kimbrough are bigger receivers that are more runners than true route runners. Mason is a blend with his powerful frame with still elite top end speed having clocked in a 4.40 forty time during his junior season.

Shortly after Gray's commitment, 'former' USF target tight end Joe Wayne released a top two which included just SMU and UL-Monroe. Within a few hours, Wayne deleted the post and posted a new top three which included the Bulls. According to reports, head coach Malcolm Francois drove down to Brownsville, Texas during the bye week to meet with Wayne.
