After having announced his commitment to the University of Tulsa months ago, Enid High School quarterback Clint Chelf said that he has reconsidered and plans to sign with Oklahoma State.
GoPokes.com reported that on Wednesday, Chelf was offered a scholarship by OSU co-offensive coordinator Gunter Brewer. The 6-3, 198-pound Chelf, whose father is an OSU graduate, is said to have a skill set similar to current Cowboy quarterback Zac Robinson.
In two seasons as Enid's starting quarterback, Chelf passed for 4,124 yards and 34 touchdowns. He rushed for 1,449 yards and 22 TDs.
Chelf told the GoPokes Web site that he telephoned Gus Malzahn on Wednesday night, informing TU's co-offensive coordinator of the commitment switch.
"That was not a fun phone call," Chelf said. "Oklahoma State was just always where I wanted to be and I really liked the offense, the facilities and the coaching staff."
Verbal commitments are non-binding. Feb. 4 is the first date on which recruits may sign national letters of intent.
