Jordan Reagan sits on a bench on his Bixby High School campus, leaning back comfortably, legs crossed, informing me that if he wasn’t giving an interview on this breezy Sunday afternoon he might be sleeping.
“That or hanging out with friends,” he says in a tone as tranquil as his pose. “Going to get sno-cones or something.”
Here we imagine Reagan is a fairly typical 18-year-old dude. He values his time, his buddies, a snack and some rest. He wears an earring and a clutter of friendship bracelets.
Another band on his left wrist, though, gives him away. It’s white with orange print that says “Let’s Ride.” It’s from Oklahoma State, the school Reagan committed to last week.
“I feel really good about it,” Reagan says of his pledge to join the Cowboys after one more season at Bixby. “I was waiting for the time to be right. It seemed to be right.”
Reagan, rated a three-star prospect by national recruiting services, really likes Tim Duffie, the OSU cornerbacks coach who led his recruitment. He appreciates the “mellow, relaxed” vibe he gets from Mike Gundy. He looks forward to reuniting with Bryce Bray and Brendon Evers, Bixby alumni on Gundy’s roster.
He looks forward to making his own mark.
