Hejny transferring to Oklahoma State, reports say

Hauss Hejny

The Cowboys are getting a new quarterback, reports all over the internet are saying.

Not THOSE Cowboys.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Former Aledo Bearcats all-state quarterback Hauss Hejny, who announced in mid-December that he was leaving TCU and entering the transfer portal, is apparently going to land at Oklahoma State. Hejny himself even reposted several posts on X (formerly Twitter) related to the subject, including one from OrangeVZN that said simply "Welcome to it @HaussHejny#GoPokes."

Efforts to reach Hejny himself were not returned.

Hejny saw limited action for the Horned Frogs (9-4) this season, playing in four games and redshirting. He didn't throw any passes, but rushed 15 times for 65 yards.

At TCU Hejny, a true freshman, was playing behind sophomore quarterback Josh Hoover, who set a Horned Frogs single season passing record in 2024 with 3,949 yards. Hoover also led the Horned Frogs to a 34-3 win over Louisiana in the New Mexico Bowl.

Hejny chose TCU out of high school to follow in the footsteps of his parents, who were both athletes at the school. His father played as a defensive lineman in the early 2000s and his mother played basketball.

Hejny's transfer to Oklahoma State comes alongside the Cowboys' hiring of Doug Meacham as offensive coordinator. Meacham was inside receivers coach at TCU last season.

Also, Hejny will be reunited with former Duke offensive coordinator Kevin Johns, who helped recruit the quarterback in high school — and where Hejny originally committed before changing to TCU. Johns will be the Cowboys' quarterback coach.

Hejny is expected to battle for the starting job in Stillwater against another redshirt freshman Zane Flores, redshirt sophomore Garrett Rangel from Frisco, and true freshman Maealiuaki Smith.

The Cowboys are coming off a 3-9 season in which they were 0-9 in the Big 12 Conference, which TCU also plays in. It ended a streak of 18 consecutive winning seasons under head coach Mike Gundy.

At Aledo, Hejny led the Bearcats to a 30-2 record in his two seasons as the starting quarterback, including a 30-game winning streak, the second longest in school history. He was also named the MVP of the 2022 Class 5A Division I state championship game.

Coming out of high school, Hejny was listed as one of the top 12 prep quarterbacks in the nation.

Hejny is a dual threat. For the Bearcats he passed for more than 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns, along with rushing for almost 2,500 yards and 29 more TD. He even caught 26 passes for 648 yards and seven touchdowns as a sophomore before moving to quarterback as a junior.
