Oklahoma State suffered a big loss prior to its game with Baylor on Saturday as Coach Mike Gundy revealed star running back Chuba Hubbard is opting-out on the Cowboys to prepare for the NFL Draft.
Mike Gundy just said on the radio that Chuba Hubbard isn't playing and has "chosen to go to the NFL." #okstate

Hubbard had 133 carries for 625 yards and just five touchdowns through seven games.
Hubbard rushed 328 times for 2,094 yards and 21 touchdowns and also had 23 catches for 198 yards.
Hubbard had big issues with Gundy in the offseason.
In June, the running back said he “will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE” in response to a photo of Gundy wearing a t-shirt bearing the logo of One America News, a pro-Trump network that has promoted unfounded conspiracies. He quote-tweeted a photo of Gundy fishing while wearing the shirt for the right-wing network: “I will not stand for this. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable.”
Gundy later appeared in a video where he said he met with players who were critical of the shirt and added he is “looking forward to making some changes” after being called out by Hubbard.
