PROVO, Utah – Redshirt sophomore Garret Rangel will start at Oklahoma State University quarterback Friday night at BYU.

Seventh-grader Alan Bowman had started all six games prior to Friday but was on the bench in two of the previous three games. OSU coach Mike Gundy avoided announcing a starter when speaking to the media earlier in the week.

This will be the fifth start of Rangel’s career, although three of those came after Spencer Sanders’ injury in 2022, when Rangel was a true freshman.

He also started in the 2023 season opener as OSU experimented with its three-quarterback rotation.

Over his career, Rangel has completed 87 of 171 passes for 1,024 yards with seven touchdowns and six interceptions.

OSU brought three quarterbacks to the BYU game in Rangel, Bowman and true freshman Maealiuiak Smith. Redshirt freshman Zane Flores was unable to make the trip after undergoing midweek surgery that will rule him out for the season.
