**EDIT** I originally posted this without knowing why Ahmed Denson was on the team for one year. Further digging from our newsroom researcher revealed Denson never qualified academically and didn't see the field, although he was enrolled at OSU in 2000-01.

Some blast-from-the-past names were mentioned in Thursday's Sports Illustrated story on the alleged use of drugs among Oklahoma State football players.
Thirty former Cowboys who played in 2000-11 told SI they used marijuana while on the football team. In doing some research, mostly in the Tulsa World archives, I found only three of those 30 completed their eligibility while at OSU, and at least half were booted from the team.
That doesn't mean their claims shouldn't be taken seriously, but in case you were wondering whatever happened to the players, here you go:
