Kristen was born to Karen and Daniel Strickland. Overall, it was a lot of basic things.”.As far as on the field, Gunnar’s biggest focus has been arm strength. Clear skies. Gunnar is the middle son of Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy, who quarterbacked the Cowboys in the late ’80s after growing up in Midwest City. … I’m going to try and make a name for myself. To him, it’s something he notices, but doesn’t put too much stock into.“I can’t say I don’t look at it, because I do,” Gundy said, “At the same time, that doesn’t mean a whole lot to the way I play. Even last year, as a sophomore, I think there was a fear of messing up and making mistakes.“Honestly, it’s probably a healthy fear, because it kept him from doing silly things with the football. There are some good players out there, but I have to focus on what I can control, which is prepping for the game, getting my team ready for the game and going out and playing hard, leaving it on the field.”.Much like his new receiving target, college coaches are already beginning to look at Gunnar, although he’s more focused on this season and what lies ahead for the Pioneers.“I’ve been talking to a few,” Gundy said, “I might go on a visit soon. He also threw 15 touchdowns and only three interceptions.“I’d be surprised if that number doesn’t go way up,” SHS football coach Tucker Barnard said. (TNS) — After one of the most successful seasons and careers in Oklahoma history, Gunnar Gundy will be sitting out of football for an entire year.Gundy led Stillwater High to back-to-back Class 6A-II state runner-up finishes before graduating in December. Check out Kristen Gundy; the beautiful wife of coach Mike Gundy, current head coach at Oklahoma State University and possibly the new coach at Tennessee. We also go at it like parents and kids do. Gundy and the Pioneers begin their season at 7 p.m. Friday at Pioneer Fieldhouse against Edmond Memorial.Gunnar Gundy doesn’t mind the pressure that comes with playing quarterback in Stillwater while carrying arguably the most well-known last name in town.In fact, the Stillwater High junior practically embraces it and enjoys the challenges that come with it.“Kids will sometimes target me, because of my last name,” Gundy said, “They’ll say jokes and stuff, but I’ve always liked having that big target on my back, so I can show people it’s me playing out there, not my dad. This year, some of the balls we wish he would have tried to throw last year that he was maybe a little unsure of – he’s not unsure now and he can do it. Instead, he opted to walk on to the OSU program next year as a member of the 2021 class.It wasn’t an easy decision. The Gundy era at Oklahoma State will be taking on a new form in 2021. I can’t even practice or anything, so I’m basically not playing football for a whole year, which was pretty hard on me at first.“It just came down to the fact that he believed I needed another year of getting stronger and faster to develop more as a QB and as an athlete. I’ll have this year to focus on learning and developing. Yet, he ultimately made the choice to join the Cowboy program in January — a year after his high school graduation and more than a year after playing his final high school game.“It was really up to my dad, because I told him I wanted to play and practice immediately,” Gundy said. I bet this year he has an incredible completion percentage when it’s all said and done.“I don’t know if it’s an unfair expectation, but we’ve got an expectation that he’ll take care of the ball, he’ll make great throws and be really accurate. It’s a hard one, a big one, but I think I can do it.
