David Taylor has been making headlines since the moment he joined Oklahoma State University back in May. The Olympic champion was appointed as the head coach of the Cowboys with a whopping $6 million contract for six years, including annual raises. However, the Taylor-led OSU has made another investment, but this time in the entertainment industry during the ongoing 2024-25 NCAA season.

OSU Max will be bringing a three-part web series titled “TRADITION CONTINUES: A New Era for Cowboy Wrestling.” While the production budget will be huge, this will be a must-watch for the young wrestlers, as it will feature the new era of the Cowboys, as they have embarked on a new and exciting journey since the joining of their new head coach.

Another big step for OSU

Since the start of the year, Oklahoma State University has been under the radar of many wrestling fans due to its bold moves. First, they completely changed the coaching staff of the Cowboys, bringing in David Taylor, who replaced their long-term coach John Smith, who retired from his position on April 11. The legacy that Smith built in his tenure will also be featured in this three-part web series, which will include all the accolades, such as his five national team titles with the OSU, as announced on their official website.

So, what’s more, should one wrestling enthusiast look forward to this? Well, the web series will be properly divided into three parts. The first part covers the major change that OSU went through, which is none other than a big introduction to their new head coach. This will give an outline of what vision the Olympic champion has when it comes to his coaching position and what he will be implementing throughout his six-year contract with the Cowboys.

After giving a proper insight into Taylor, the other two parts of the series will focus on all the wrestlers of OSU. It will showcase the way they train and the mindset they have whenever they head out on the mat. While part 1 has already aired on November 21, the other two parts will be coming on December 5 and December 19, respectively. This series will also be exclusive to OSU Max, which is the official streaming home of Oklahoma State Athletics.

Furthermore, the trailer that was posted to OSU Max’s X profile showcased many glimpses of the three-part web series. From the start, it focused on the head coach, Taylor, who freshly arrived at Oklahoma with determination as high as the skies. It also featured his young wrestlers admiring the Olympic champion’s presence in their room as their head coach. Taylor is a big name in the wrestling scene, and having him on the team is a huge win for the wrestlers in OSU.

The Cowboys have changed a lot compared to their previous seasons since the Olympic champion was appointed as their head coach. They have started the 2024-25 NCAA season with a dominant performance against Utah Valley and will be aiming to continue their campaign with such prolific performances. However, in their next game, which will be at their home, the Oklahoma State University, a top prospect is set to arrive, as he will be experiencing college wrestling straight from the Taylor-led Cowboys.

David Taylor might cross paths with a top wrestling prospect

On Friday night, OSU will be facing Wyoming on the home turf. There will be plenty of people to watch from the audience, and the crowd will also feature Bo Bassett, who has been making headlines in high school wrestling. The 18-year-old is currently on a 74-0 streak and is looking forward to his 75th win, but he has found time to visit many colleges like Iowa and Michigan to get a grasp on the places he would want to wrestle in the coming years. This time, he will be coming to OSU, and many rumors suggest that he might meet David Taylor, who would waste no time in taking an interest in the young wrestler.

Surely, OSU has their two future stars locked in for the 2026 roster, Rocklin Zinkin and Kaden Purler, but there’s always room for someone as talented as Bassett. The high school prodigy will also be taking a glimpse of the dominant Cowboys, who desire to clinch not only a win but to deliver dominant performances every bout, owing to their head coach’s competitive mentality.
