The Oklahoma State football team reported to Boone Pickens Stadium on Thursday to begin fall camp.

Members of the team filled out paperwork dealing with everything from NCAA compliance to campus parking permits, insurance, academics, financial aid and more. They also reported for testing in the weight room and the training room and got some of their equipment for the season.

OSU running back Jeremy Smith was a key contributor to last season's 12-1 Fiesta Bowl Championship team and he says he's expecting big things this season too.

"Just trying to get another one," said Smith. "Looking back on last year, things worked out for us and we won the league and got our championship rings. We're back here this season working to get another."

Smith says that despite losing the likes of Brandon Weeden and Justin Blackmon, young players are ready to step up for the Cowboys.

"There were so many who stepped up this summer. Cooper Bassett, Calvin Barnett, Nigel Nicholas. There were so many to choose from."

And as is customary for the Cowboys, the players were all fitted for potential championship rings.

OSU's season opener is less than a month away, kicking off August 1 in Stillwater against Savannah State.
