Kevin Peterson Switches Commitment

Wagoner football standout “Kevin Peterson switched his verbal commitment from Oklahoma to Oklahoma State on Monday after visiting Stillwater over the weekend,” the Tulsa World reports.

“At 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, Peterson is a three-star prospect, according to Scout.com. Despite being a longtime OSU fan, he verbally committed to OU in mid-December.

“The next day, OSU offered, but it wasn't until defensive backs coach Willie Martinez and defensive coordinator Brent Venables left Oklahoma that Peterson started to rethink his choice, said his high school coach, Dale Condict.

“’Coach Martinez from OU in particular did a great job of building a relationship with him, felt really comfortable with him,’ Condict said Monday night. ‘Then coach Venables came in and started building a relationship with him.’

“’When those two both left, I think his comfort level really started to waver.’”
