During the Rally: President Trump and his campaign make their case for re-election Alex sloa n , Ne ws Editor, @ S loa n _Al ex

TULSA- Although President Donald Trump wasn’t scheduled to speak until 7 p.m., festivities inside the BOK center kicked off in full at around 6 p.m.

Despite the Trump campaign’s assertions that a million people requested tickets, the top two sections of the BOK center were mostly empty when the festivities inside began. Although many seats were left vacant at the top of the arena, the lower seats were nearly full. Masks were offered at the entrance to the area, but few were being worn inside the arena.

The event began with a prayer, the pledge of allegiance, and the singing of the national anthem. Several of the early speakers came from the organization Black Voices for Trump, including the conservative vloggers Diamond and Silk, as well as Texas State Rep. James White.

Tulsa County Sheriff Vic Regalado, and Eric and Lara Trump also addressed the assembled crowd before the President’s arrival.

Eric and Lara Trump took the stage at least an hour before the President arrived. The couple both had their own list of reasons for MONDAY, JUNE 22, 2020

voters to support President Trump’s reelection campaign.

Lara Trump said Vice President Joe Biden was an entrenched politician with established interests.

“They don’t get any swampier than Joe Biden,” she said.

She also said there wasn’t any need to worry about absentee ballots, to massive cheers from the assembled crowd.

“We will be standing in line, and going to a voting booth to vote for Donald Trump,” she said.

Eric Trump also expressed doubts about Biden, but focused more on his father’s accomplishments.

“My father is building the wall, and they’re building a lot of wall,” Eric said.

Shortly following the couple onto the stage, was Vice President Mike Pence. He expressed his excitement to be in Oklahoma and worked the crowd into an excited roar before the President was introduced.

“Oklahoma, and America, need four more years of President Trump in the White House,” Pence said.

Pence talked both about President Trump’s accomplishments in office, and the issues he would have with a Biden

“We saved hundreds of thousands of lives, and all we do is get hit on like we’re terrible,” Trump said of his administration’s COVID-19 response.

He said his administration had cut more regulations, and appointed more conservative federal judges than any other. Trump said the Republican Party was the party of Abraham Lincoln, and the party of law and order.

OSU commit Collin Oliver looks forward to playing with cowboys Matt Hubba r d, Staff reporter,

@Robe rtM hubbar d

Hungry, humble, versatile and fast: four words that describe Collin Oliver, the four-Star Oklahoma State commit out of Santa Fe High School in Edmond, Oklahoma.

Oliver comes into the program as the No. 228 prospect in the country, No. 9 inside linebacker and No. 5 player in Oklahoma.

Despite missing three games last season due to a knee contusion, Oliver was still able get 26 tackles and seven tackles for a loss last season.

Something he brings to the Cowboys, which attracts programs would is versatility, Oliver’s ability to go back and forth between linebacker and defensive end is a valuable asset to have if a player wants to see the field early.

“I bring a lot of versatility, I’m not one to boast about myself like that, but I am confident in my ability to be very versatile, to play whatever MONDAY, JUNE 22, 2020

Four-star linebacker Collin Oliver is ready to play college football at OSU.

position, whatever coach wants me to play,” said Oliver.

“I’m confident in that ability, you that’s definitely what I believe I could bring to the table at Oklahoma State that they don’t currently have.”

Oliver’s goal is to play in whatever position the coaches see fit, although his main goal is to play for the Cowboys in a rushing capacity.

With that versatility, Oliver’s hopes are that he is able to see the field early

in one capacity or another.

Another thing that Oliver brings to the table for the Cowboys is speed at the linebacker position, clocking a lasered a low 4.6 40-yard dash time.

“I actually had a laser 4.6, it was either a 4.6 flat or 4.62 or 4.63 something like that, but yeah that was my sophomore year, or actually it was the beginning of my junior year,” said Oliver. “You know, it probably im-

proved by now, I’ve started to work on my speed a whole lot so, we’ll where it is right now.”

Proximity to home as well as being comfortable with the coaching staff is one of the reasons why Oliver picked the Cowboys.

Another reason why Oliver picked the OSU is because of the team’s persistence and early recruiting of him.

“It starts out with the coaching staff, they hopped on me real early, they were

my first offer so, you know it meant a lot to me that they were the first to jump on my crazy train, you know, real early in the recruiting process,” Oliver said. “That meant a lot and you know, as well as the fit that they have me in as well as the whole culture of Oklahoma State, close to home and they’re a successful winning program, so you know it meant a lot.”

Oliver hasn’t chosen a major yet,

however, one of his main goals when he gets on campus is to find a major that he likes, keep his GPA up and focus on football.

Santa Fe High School’s head coach, Kyle White, is no stranger to coaching OSU players as he also coached current Cowboys Trace Ford and Calvin Bundage.

White sees the Cowboy’s using Oliver in a similar role to Ford, switching him between linebacker and defensive end depending on the play.

“I think he could play either one, I think a lot of it’s going to come down to how big he gets once he gets up there,” White said. “I think he’s athletic enough to play linebacker, he’s strong enough to play defensive end, and I see you know, I can see them doing a lot of what they do with Trace, you know, sometimes defensive end, sometimes linebacker, kind of what they did with Bundage early on, so I think he’s that same mold.”
