Oklahoma State Lists Mose Phillips III as Doubtful for Houston Showdown

Oklahoma State’s defense faces a critical test in its upcoming matchup against Houston, with star safety Mose Phillips III listed as doubtful due to a shoulder injury suffered last Saturday in the Cowboys’ 38–27 win over UCF. Phillips, a four-year senior who has started the past four games and recorded 23 tackles with three pass breakups and an interception this season, could be a major loss for OSU’s secondary.

If he sits out, Evan Jackson—who returned to the starting role in the season opener against Tulsa before moving to backup—would likely take his place. Jackson, a North Texas transfer, made a splash in the UCF game with a scoop-and-score on a fumble, though he has only four tackles on the year.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys’ offensive line and wide receiver group remain largely unscathed, with only defensive lineman Landon Dean confirmed out for the game and freshman Dayvon Standard marked as probable.

The Cowboys (4–1, 2–0 in Big 12 play) enter the showdown with momentum, having won four straight games since their season-opening loss to Tulsa, including a victory over then-ranked Oregon. Houston (5–1, 2–1), meanwhile, has won three in a row after falling just short of overtime in their Big 12 opener against Texas Tech.

The game, set for 6:30 p.m. Saturday at TDECU Stadium, will be a key matchup in the conference as both teams look to maintain their winning streaks.
