Oklahoma State football just made a move that’s got fans buzzing. The Cowboys added Lindenwood to their 2029 nonconference schedule.
This will be the first time these two programs meet, which feels like a milestone for both teams. There’s already a bit of chatter about what this matchup could mean for the Cowboys down the line.
Oklahoma State will host the Lindenwood Lions on September 8, 2029, in Stillwater. It’s a notable matchup since Lindenwood, an FCS team from Saint Charles, Missouri, only started playing at the Division I level in 2022.
Lindenwood finished last season at 5-7 and went 4-4 in the OVC-Big South Conference. They’re still finding their footing, but they might bring some unexpected energy to Stillwater.
Oklahoma State will pay Lindenwood $500,000 for the game. That’s a pretty standard price tag for these kinds of nonconference matchups, but it always raises eyebrows for fans who follow the business side of college football.

The Lindenwood game is the second nonconference matchup confirmed for Oklahoma State in 2029. The Cowboys will kick off the season at home against Tulsa on September 1, followed by a trip to Tuscaloosa to face Alabama on September 15.
Mixing in a powerhouse like Alabama with a newer program like Lindenwood is definitely part of a broader strategy. Oklahoma State seems to be balancing tough competition with games that help the team develop.
Historical Context
The Cowboys have a pretty deep history with some of their nonconference rivals. Against Tulsa, Oklahoma State holds a 45-27-5 record.
They’re also 1-0 all-time against Alabama. Those numbers add a little extra anticipation for the 2029 matchups.

Player Highlights and Fan Expectations
Fans are always looking for the next breakout player. Wide receiver Terrill Davis out of Central Oklahoma has been turning heads with his play and his attitude.
He’s got the kind of humble confidence that tends to win over a crowd. I wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes a fan favorite soon enough.
Transfers and New Faces
Keep an eye on Auburn transfer receiver Sam Jackson V. His spring game performance already made waves, and he brings a flashy style that could shake up the offense.
New additions like Jackson could be key as Oklahoma State works through its future schedules. There’s a lot to look forward to, even if some of it is still a few years away.
Conclusion
Oklahoma State just added Lindenwood to their 2029 schedule. It’s a move that shakes things up and gives fans something new to look forward to.
The Cowboys are mixing in some fresh challenges alongside their classic rivalries. Honestly, it’s hard not to get a little curious about how this will play out down the road.
